Kevin Owens has become a menace in WWE since turning heel. The Prizefighter was doing just fine as a babyface before his darker side got the better of him after seeing Cody Rhodes team with his nemesis, Roman Reigns.

KO currently possesses the Winged Eagle Title which he stole from Cody at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The two men are currently involved in a heated rivalry that will continue into the new year.

With Owens' next big match planned for the 2025 Royal Rumble, there are many things that The Prizefighter can do in the coming year.

Check out the five predictions for Kevin Owens in 2025.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.


#5. Kevin Owens could lose to Cody Rhodes for a third time

Bash in Berlin saw Cody Rhodes defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against a babyface Kevin Owens. The Prizefighter later turned heel, and the two had another match for the title at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The match was won by Rhodes, who hit Owens with the Cross Rhodes on a steel chair. This prompted KO to lose his cool and hit The American Nightmare with a Package Piledriver before stealing the Winged Eagle Title.

The two men will collide at the 2025 Royal Rumble for the title once again, this time in a ladder match. Fans could see Cody Rhodes defeat Kevin Owens once again to retain his championship. WWE could bring back Randy Orton to help The American Nightmare retain the title on the show.


#4. Randy Orton challenges KO at WrestleMania 41

Randy Orton was shelved by Kevin Owens who hit him with the banned Piledriver. The two were working as a tag team before Owens turned heel.

WWE fans will hope to see The Viper return to get back at his former partner. This could see Randy Orton cost Owens his title match at the 2025 Royal Rumble and ignite a brand-new rivalry.

The two men could feud heading into WrestleMania 41 where Orton could challenge him to the final match of their rivalry. It would be great to see the two veterans go head to head on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

The match could result in a win for The Viper. The result would be a major setback for the villainous Kevin Owens.


#3. Kevin Owens quits WWE

Kevin Owens has quit the company in the past, only to return as a heel once again. The Prizefighter could do something similar after losing his match to Randy Orton on SmackDown.

Owens could appear on the SmackDown after 'Mania to announce that he is a failure and has decided to quit WWE. He could also blame Triple H and some other superstars, including his friend Sami Zayn, for the decision.

The angle will be perfect to keep Owens out of competition for a couple of months and also give time to the creative team to build a new rivalry for him.


#2. Sami Zayn gets attacked by his best friend

WWE fans could see Kevin Owens return after a couple of months to get back in the limelight. He could do so by attacking an unsuspecting Sami Zayn in an all-important match.

KO’s actions could be triggered by the fact that Zayn is working with Cody Rhodes or Randy Orton before his return. He could blame his former best friend for his failures in WWE and for helping out those who led to his downfall.

The two men could have a great singles rivalry heading into SummerSlam, replicating the success from their time at NXT. They have had a few top matches in the past, and another rivalry will help both men stay relevant in 2025.


#1. The Prizefighter finally wins another world title

Many fans want to see Kevin Owens win a top title after all the hard work he’s put in over the past few years. Some even believed that he would defeat Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Triple H could hold off his big win until after he feuds with Sami Zayn at SummerSlam. Following his win, he could get in contention for the World Heavyweight Championship or Undisputed WWE Title.

He could win the title around Survivor Series 2025 for a short run and possibly also lead his own team into battle at WarGames. A short run with the title would be perfect for the man who has put in a lot of hard work over the years and has lost countless world title matches.
