What if WWE gives Kevin Owens the CM Punk push?

#3 Kevin Owens becomes the first two-time Universal Champion

Kevin Owens could become the first man to hold the Universal Championship more than once.

If WWE leans full tilt into this unconventional push for Kevin Owens, it’s hard to imagine him not at least briefly winning another world title, and given his placement on Raw, and having burned kayfabe bridges on SmackDown, it only makes sense that he’d be in contention for the Universal Championship.

Roman Reigns is generally accepted as WWE’s chosen one, and with Braun Strowman breathing down his neck, it’s hard to imagine Owens getting his hands on the brand’s top title. Owens could become something like 2011-2012 Daniel Bryan, though, as the oddball third wheel in the title picture, stealing a title reign while bigger foes—then Mark Henry and The Big Show, now Reigns and Strowman—distract and decimate one another.

In this process, Owens could garner the unique distinction of becoming the first guy to hold the Universal Championship more than once. It’s a nice feather in his cap to add to him already being the longest reigning full-time champion the title has had.
