#2 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens is undoubtedly an ideal opponent for the current WWE champion. Owens is currently out of action due to an injury, but he could be back before WrestleMania 35. His last run was on Raw, but he might switch brands after returning from the injury.
Owens was a prominent name in the independent circuit before he decided to join WWE in 2014. Owens won the NXT title, and he had some awe-inspiring bouts with Sami Zayn, Samoa Joe, and Finn Balor. Owens continued the impressive run in the main roster as he defeated John Cena on the main roster debut. He won the Universal title once, Intercontinental title twice and US title thrice.

Considering Owens already won the most prestigious belt of the red brand, he will be determined to grab the most prestigious belt of the blue brand. Since Bryan is a heel, Owens can return as a babyface. Owens is a great performer who has given several remarkable matches in his career. Owens can produce an astounding match against Daniel Bryan at Metlife Stadium.
Though Owens was on Raw before he got injured, he has issues with the then GM of SmackDown Live, Daniel Bryan and WWE can get around that storyline to build this rivalry up.
