There's not a person alive (or dead, namely The Undertaker) who can claim that the pairing of Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe is not terrifying. But the fact remains that there's only two of them and their adversaries have the numbers advantage.
So who could potentially team up with these two powerhouses to even the odds for the babyfaces, you ask? In this article, I shall attempt to answer your question and I do hope you will agree with me as well!
In case you do, please let me know in the comments section right below. In case you do not, you can still sound off in the section below and I promise to respect your opinion.
Trending
The picks have to be formidable because Seth Rollins is arguably WWE's top superstar, while Akam and Rezar have been booked as monster heels.
#5 Ricochet
Ricochet is the future. He wrestles an athletic style that connects with the younger generation and has a look that WWE is traditionally known to like. There's no doubting that he'll be a big star in time.
I wonder if the first step towards that is for him to be the third man in the babyface alliance that takes on the heels who have been terrorizing RAW with their numbers. If Samoa Joe brings the muscle, and Kevin Owens brings the brain, Ricochet could bring an aerial style to the match that wows the audience as he defies gravity to perform inhuman stunts.
I just don't know if he is the right fit to enter into this role, and this is why I'm slotting him at Number 5. Ricochet suffered a loss to Andrade on this week's episode of RAW, and momentum isn't necessarily on his side right now. Ricochet is most definitely the future, but these 4 other contenders may be the present.
#4 Aleister Black
Aleister Black seems perfect to be the man that evens the odds for the good guys. The only reservation I have with him is the fact that he seems like the kind of person who works alone.
And moreover, I can totally see him as Brock Lesnar's next opponent which would disqualify him for this other big storyline, in my opinion. Being the third man in the babyface faction is a great way to elevate and highlight an existing Superstar, and for Black to be booked in two storylines simultaneously would be quite weird.
However, when you look at the man and his talents, it is impossible to deny that the deadly duo of Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe could benefit massively from having a striker like Aleister Black in their ranks. Black is a future breakout star and if he's the third man, this could be the beginning of the big time for the man!
#3 Humberto Carrillo
Humberto Carrillo is one of the most heavily pushed Superstars in WWE at this point in time. And if you don't believe me, cast your mind back to Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia where Carrillo defeated 19 other Superstars to emerge as the winner of the Battle Royal in the Kickoff show.
Unfortunately, because he's not as fluent in English as he is between the ropes, he tends to get a little lost at times, which is where someone like Kevin Owens or Samoa Joe could be the mouthpiece for this talented young man, to take him to the next level. WWE certainly wants Humberto Carrillo to succeed because they've wanted a Latin American Superstar for years now, to consolidate the market.
Sure, Andrade is the right fit in that regard but Humberto Carrillo has the teen popstar look that could help them garner an even wider audience.
#2 Rey Mysterio
Rey Mysterio is certainly the best pick to team up with the babyfaces (except for entry number 1) because he already has bad blood with Seth Rollins. I mean he pretty much attributed the beat down that he suffered at the hands of Rollins as the reason why he lost the United States Championship. Rey Mysterio may not dwarf any of his three opponents but his legacy certainly dwarfs the best in the wrestling business.
Mysterio is the obvious pick for a feud like this and this is what makes me wonder if WWE will actually go down this route with him, at this point in time. But there's little else for him to do at the moment except for maybe feuding with Andrade over the US Championship, in matches we've seen far too often.
And so, I wouldn't be surprised if Rey Mysterio is revealed to be the third man.
#1 John Morrison
John Morrison has returned to WWE after a fantastic run in Lucha Underground and Impact Wrestling. Many can say that he's a lot more popular now than he was during his very first stint.
What we do know for sure is that John Morrison is back in WWE but at the same time, we don't know how, when and where he'll make his big return to the ring again. I do believe that Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe, both of whom are 'indie' guys can call upon Morrison to back them up as they take on this despicable heel trio.
It will allow Morrison to work in a multi-man environment in, arguably, the hottest feud in wrestling at the moment. The multi-man matches can even get him to regain his footing again before he jumps back into the deep waters again.
Morrison would be the ideal third man in this setup.
