5 Dream opponents for AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble 2017

2: Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens’ title run hasn’t gone well so far and a match with Styles could change all that

Champion vs Champion at the Royal Rumble. The idea sells itself. The match will obviously not be for the championships but for bragging rights between the brands on one of WWE’s biggest nights of the year.

Owens and Styles know each other well from the indies and with Owens eliminating Styles at the Royal Rumble last years, the seeds for this story are set if WWE chooses to use it.

Owens’ championship run hasn’t been the best so far with him being made to look weak repeatedly instead of being a no-nonsense heel like he was as Intercontinental Champion and a showcase match against the blue brand’s champion would be a great chance for him to prove that he’s still at the top of his game.

Regardless of who wins this match, it would tear the house down on the night.
