#2 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens' feud with Chris Jericho was the highlight of 2016-17. The alliance with Jericho made KO the foremost villain in the WWE. Later, Owens turned on Jericho and viciously attacked him turning Jericho into a face. The rivalry culminated at WrestleMania 33 with Owens winning the United States Championship.
Kevin Owens is arguably the biggest heel in WWE today. He gets booed everytime he steps into the ring and draws real heat from the fans. To garner even more monster heat, Owens could be the man to retire Jericho.
Owens just being 33, could be the future of the company. What better way to set him up than by retiring one of the greatest of all times.
