#1. Kevin Owens could dethrone Sami Zayn
Kevin Owens was one of the biggest names to be traded to SmackDown. The Prizefighter is a former Universal, United States, and Intercontinental Champion.
Owens was treading water on RAW, playing second-fiddle to Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and Randy Orton. However, the story could be different on SmackDown. There is a myriad of possibilities for Owens, but there is one that stands out; a renewed rivalry with past friend and enemy, Sami Zayn.

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens go way back. They were best friends once upon a time, but Owens betrayed Zayn upon arrival to NXT. They were briefly paired together on the main roster as a tag team when Sami Zayn turned heel to align himself with Owens. However, after their alliance ended, they went in different directions and they have seldom crossed paths.
The Prizefighter is currently dealing with Aleister Black, but he should move on to a feud with Sami Zayn after that. The Great Liberator and The Prizefighter could switch roles this time as Sami Zayn could be the despicable heel and Owens the lovable babyface. An Intercontinental Championship win would also help Owens get his career back on track.
