Kevin Owens has been unfortunately bumped from the WWE Universal Title scene just in time for WrestleMania 33. After carrying Raw's main event scene since last summer, it's sad to see Owens become an afterthought right before WWE's pay-per-view crown jewel.

Although Monday Night Raw is a place KO crows about as being the 'Kevin Owens Show', he's another that could feasibly be moved sideways to SmackDown come the next WWE Draft.

This wouldn't be a disaster for the former Universal Champ, because he'd immediately become one of the biggest stars on the blue brand and could insert himself into the WWE Title mix straight away. Moving to SmackDown also opens up new feuds for Owens and the chance to turn babyface.

People relate to Kevin Owens because of his soft physical appearance and clear passion for wrestling, so there's every chance a rivalry against a cold, calculating figure like Randy Orton would work a treat.

Should Orton be WWE Champ once again come 'Mania 34, the situation would be perfectly poised for a grand stand babyface coronation for Owens that would act as his own personal WrestleMania moment.
