Kevin Owens: 5 Potential Rivalries For The WWE Intercontinental Champion
2. Dean Ambrose
The ‘Lunatic Fringe’ has fallen from grace a little bit since the early summer, where he was competing in very entertaining matches against Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, culminating in a gruelling ladder match at Money in the Bank, with Ambrose coming up just short.
He did have prime positioning on the SummerSlam and Night of Champions cards alongside Roman Reigns, but since it’s looking more and more likely that Reigns will be holding gold before long, I’d imagine that was for his benefit.
Ambrose would get himself back under the spotlight, where he belongs, as a singles competitor by splitting away from Reigns and going after Kevin Owens for the Intercontinental Championship, a title that Ambrose seemed very interested in during WrestleMania season early this year. We’ve seen the two square off on a few occasions, but a full-blown rivalry with the title up for grabs would raise the stakes entirely.
Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens have proven themselves beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are worthy of their spots on the WWE roster, but neither of them have been known to get complacent.
Both men up the ante and try to one-up themselves whenever they lace up their boots, and so a rivalry between the two would contain some extremely competitive, back-and-forth matches, with each man trying to outdo the other every step of the way.
