#2 Samoa Joe (Raw) Vs. Kevin Owens (SmackDown Live)
Another match that could very well decide the King of the Ring tournament is Kevin Owens vs Samoa Joe. The two heavyweights collided back under Triple H's experiential supervision in NXT and are yet to slug it out on the main roster.
The two engaged in a slugfest last night on SmackDown Live, with the Samoan Submission Machine getting the better of Owens, thanks to Elias' cheeky interference.
Since the bout ended without a clean finish, the creative could build on to this feud and give us something special to decide the Finals of the tournament.
Even though Kevin Owens is being presented as a top babyface and seeing how Samoa Joe's possible face turn speculation is panning out, the creative team could utilize their momentum and book them for an epic clash in the Finals of the tournament.
In the eyes of a professional wrestling fan, both performers deserve to be in such a position and concluding the tournament with these two could be very, very interesting.
With Owens no longer working as a heel, the interaction between the two within the squared circle could prove decisive in further advancing their directions on the main roster.
