Predicting The First 10 WWE Universal Champions
4. Shinsuke Nakamura
Shinsuke Nakamura may have been robbed of the WWE Universal Championship, but that won't keep him down - even when Owens gets himself disqualified to retain the championship early in their mandatory rematch. While Owens goes on to defend the Universal Title against Sami Zayn at the TLC PPV, Nakamura will be forced to prove himself worthy of another shot at the belt.
He'll manage to do just that at the 2018 Royal Rumble, winning the titular match to establish himself as the number one contender. That'll put him and Kevin Owens on a path to a collision at WrestleMania 34, where Nakamura will finally get a chance to put "The Prizefighter" down and reclaim his title.
Though it'll technically be their third match against each other, the WrestleMania bout will represent the first full-fledged clash between Nakamura and Owens, with both men fresh and no disqualifications. The result will be a great back-and-forth battle worthy of WrestleMania, and an exciting victory for Nakamura, crowning "The King of Strong Style" a two-time Universal Champion.
