Kevin Owens is one of the prominent wrestlers of WWE. Unfortunately, Owens got injured last year, and he is recovering from a knee injury. However, he is expected to make a comeback before the Show of Shows.
Since WWE showed a video of Owens last week, he could be set to return soon. The former Universal Champion expressed his excitement to return. It will be interesting to see if he comes back before Fastlane, which is set to take place next month.
Owens was part of the red brand before he got injured. He has been a top heel of the company, and he is undoubtedly one of the best superstars of the New Era. He has earned plenty of success in his main roster career.
Kevin Owens was a massive name in the independent circuit before he arrived in WWE. Owens signed for WWE in 2014, and he had significant success in NXT. He had memorable bouts with Sami Zayn, Neville, Finn Balor, and many more. Owens won the NXT title once, and he made his main roster debut in 2015.
Owens had an astounding start to his main roster career as he defeated John Cena in his debut match. He has won the Intercontinental title once, US title once, and the Universal title once. There is no denying that Owens has established himself as a leading superstar of the company.
WrestleMania 35 is less than two months away, and the excitement is sky-high in the WWE Universe. The show will be held on 7 April, at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey. As a matter of fact, WrestleMania 29 was held in the same venue and was an immense success.
Here we discuss three best possible opponents for Kevin Owens at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
#3 Finn Balor
Finn Balor is undoubtedly a great opponent for Kevin Owens. Balor is the current Intercontinental Champion and is having a remarkable feud with Lashley. Balor won the title at Elimination Chamber where he defeated Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley in a handicap match.
Balor is a veteran in the squared circle and had immense popularity in Japan. He wrestled in Japan several years before WWE signed him in 2014. He became a big name in NXT, and he produced some remarkable matches. Balor was the longest reigning NXT Champion as he held the title 292 days.
Subsequently, he continued the impressive momentum on the main roster as he became the inaugural Universal Champion. Unfortunately, he had to relinquish the title after an injury. Balor's astonishing run halted after he came back from the injury and he was not in the title picture for two years until he faced Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble.
Owens and Balor had a memorable rivalry in NXT where they produced some spectacular bouts. The two men also locked horns on the main roster. They are awe-inspiring in-ring performers, and they can offer a top-notch match in New Jersey. Owens could be the next title challenger of Balor if the latter stays champion till WrestleMania 35.
#2 Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley is certainly one of the best opponents for the former Universal Champion at WrestleMania 35. Lashley is an integral part of the red brand, and they had a remarkable feud before Owens got injured.
Presently, Lashley is fighting for the Intercontinental title, and he might get a rematch. Considering he lost the title at Elimination Chamber, he is expected to lock horns with Finn Balor in a one-on-one bout at Fastlane.
Bobby Lashley made his WWE return last year.
He made his WWE debut in 2005, and he had some memorable rivalries in his first run. Lashley has won the US title once, the ECW World title twice, and the Intercontinental title once.
Owens could cost Lashley the Intercontinental title match in Cleveland, and they could restart their rivalry after Fastlane. Owens and Lashley are stupendous performers in the squared circle, and they have provided some awe-inspiring bouts in the past.
#1 Daniel Bryan
There is no denying that Kevin Owens could be an ideal opponent for the current WWE Champion at the Show of Shows. Bryan is set to face Kofi Kingston at Fastlane, but he is expected to retain the title. Considering Bryan needs an elite opponent at WrestleMania 35, Owens could be a perfect candidate to challenge Bryan.
Bryan won the WWE title last year when he shocked the WWE Universe by turning heel. Bryan defeated AJ Styles at Royal Rumble, and he also survived the traditional Elimination Chamber match at Toyota Center. However, Kofi Kington gave an extraordinary performance at the Elimination Chamber, but Bryan overpowered the New Day member.
Since Bryan is a heel, Owens could return as a babyface. In fact, Owens has only been a heel in his main roster career, and it will be fresh to see him as a face. Considering Owens and Bryan have never locked horns in a one-on-one bout, it will be a fresh rivalry for the WWE Universe as well. The two superstars are adept in the squared circle, and they are competent enough to steal the show in New Jersey.
