Who could be next in line for a prestigious title opportunity? — Who could be next in line for a title opportunity?

#2 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens, a man without consequences, could take Reigns to task

Kevin Owens was a Universal Champion too. And unlike Finn Balor, he never received an opportunity at the title since he lost the title to Goldberg last year. Now that he dubs himself a man without consequences, I could see Owens claim a title shot against Roman Reigns.

Yes, I know he's currently feuding with Bobby Lashley. But how many feuds has WWE abandoned halfway through? Owens could also find an aide in Mahal to help him out, going forward.

I would really like to see Owens become Universal Champion again. I thought he made a pretty fantastic champion when he was aligned with Chris Jericho.
