#2 AJ Styles versus Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank
On Monday Night Raw this week, we saw two triple threat matches take place. The winner of each match faced off in the Main Event on Raw. AJ Styles defeated Baron Corbin to become the Number One Contender to Seth Rollins for the Universal Title. After the match we saw Seth come out and congratulate Styles on his win.

This match is a dream match that's been in the making since Styles arrived in WWE. At the moment, there is no narrative in the story apart from the championship at stake. Unfortunately I don't see there being a clear winner in this match, especially if they both stay as faces. It is possible that one of them turns heel soon, probably after the first match to continue their rivalry.

Another possibility is that a heel is inserted into the match to add to the narrative. This would not be the ideal scenario, as it would ruin the dream one on one match from happening. The only other finish to the match is a heel winning the MITB briefcase. They could then cash in during the match to protect both Styles and Rollins. Again, not an ideal scenario, as Seth deserves a longer title run.
Honestly speaking, this will be excellent to watch if WWE can book it correctly. We know that both of these superstars are superb in the ring, however not all dream matches have been great in WWE (Nakamura v Styles).
If this is going to be a long feud, Styles would be the perfect person to turn heel. His face character has been stale for quite awhile now and he knows how to be a cocky, arrogant heel (watch him in TNA Impact Wrestling). A heel Styles versus a face Rollins is money. Seth Rollins can certainly play the part of a heel, however he is more over as a face than Styles. He would be the better choice as a face.
#1 Kevin Owens turns heel on The New Day
Kevin Owens being a temporary replacement in the New Day was never going to work. Sure it was fun to watch him eat pancakes and gyrating his hips. Owens has never exactly been known to be loyal to his friends. The Prizefighter absolutely destroyed Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods after Kofi's match with Shinsuke Nakamura on Smackdown this week. He made his intentions perfectly clear that he is coming for the WWE Championship.
Turning him heel again was certainly the right thing to do for a number of reasons. He was not working out as a face because of how WWE introduced him back into the fold (as Daniel Bryan's opponent at Fastlane while Kofimania was red hot). If it had of been done any other way, Owens could have had a decent run as a face.
Secondly Owens works better as a heel, as he is excellent on the mic and even better at drawing heat from the crowd. His heel character had gotten stale before he got injured last year, however it was due to getting lost in the shuffle on Raw. Now that he has been back a couple of months and had a small face run, it's time to bring back the ruthless side of him. Having the time off and a brief face run, has allowed the company to present his heel persona in a refreshing way.
Lastly, WWE do not have another big heel to feud with Kofi, since Bryan is out injured. Kevin Owens was the only one in a position that they could turn heel. There is a real possibility that he has a drawn out rivalry with Kofi, eventually even taking away the WWE Title from him.There is already an inbuilt story for WWE to play off. Owens may feel that Kofi took his WrestleMania spot away from him. KO did not get to have a match at the Show of Shows.
MITB could be one of the best PPV's of the year if it's booked correctly. WWE need to continue with building people up for all their championships. After all, people do not want part time world champions again. WWE have the most talented roster that any company has ever had.
By trusting guys like AJ Styles, Seth Rollins , Kofi Kingston and Kevin Owens with the two world titles, the company is in safe hands. What once seemed impossible for smaller guys to achieve, has now turned into a reality. Smaller superstars can hold a world title in WWE now, as it's no longer the land of the giants.They have all worked hard and earned their spot to fight for the two most coveted titles in WWE today.
