5 Opponents for Brock Lesnar at the 2017 Royal Rumble

2: Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens retained the WWE Universal Championship at Hell In A Cell

There were rumours at the beginning of this year that Kevin Owens was a possibility to face Brock Lesnar at the Honolulu house show.

The match didn’t happen in the end but the Royal Rumble presents the perfect time for Owens and Lesnar to finally meet inside the squared circle. Owens is the WWE Universal Champion and will probably still be the champion in January at the time of the Rumble.

A Owens-Lesnar match is definitely going to one of the headline attractions. Paul Heyman and Kevin Owens’ are two of the best on the mic in WWE right now and their dueling promos in the lead up to the match would be gold. Owens has the potential to one of the New Era’s top stars and a victory over Brock Lesnar is exactly what he needs to launch himself into the stratosphere.
