4. Kevin Owens vs. MJF: The Rock vs. Steve Austin for this era?
While it is beyond doubt that Kevin Owens can be the most dastardly and vindictive of heels–like when he battered his best friend Sami Zayn for the NXT Championship–we've seen Owens transform into a beloved babyface.
MJF, on the other hand, has risen through the ranks as a selfish guy who does what he does for the sake of proving that he's truly "better" than everyone else.
Their current characters sit well on opposite ends of the spectrum, drawing similarities to one of the greatest feuds in wrestling history, Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock.
Owens has never been one to mince his words on the mic either, managing to deliver intensity, a brutal sense of honesty, and genuine hilarity.
A feud between Kevin Owens and MJF would be about the working man versus the self-titled egotist; a man who has scratched and clawed for every inch of progress in his life, and a man who has been gifted everything on a silver platter.
3. Sami Zayn vs. MJF: The perfect villain for babyface Sami Zayn?
Sami Zayn has been pure magic during his run as a heel. But what established Zayn as a star in wrestling was his work as the serial underdog, a man who would simply never give up on his way to the top.
Again, MJF lives by the exact opposite mantra, believing that he deserves it. Entitlement serves as the antithesis to working hard, furthering the hero/villain dynamic between MJF and Zayn.
Art imitates life and likewise, MJF vs. Sami Zayn would tell a story of a veteran who, like the previous entry, has scratched and clawed for every inch he has gained in the business, and the blue-chip prospect fast-tracked to the big leagues without having to endure the scrapes and set-backs his opponent suffered.
Zayn is one of the best storytellers on WWE and has shown that given the right narrative, he'll stage a dramatic and nailbiting performance befitting the feud in question. MJF can be the Lex Luthor to Sami Zayn's Superman.
