#4 Give Kevin Owens the MITB Contract

Kevin Owens vs Braun Strowman
Strowman does not need the MITB contract!

Braun Strowman has been targeting Kevin Owens for the past few months and made sure Owens is not able to walk on his own feet. From pushing him from a 20-foot ladder at MITB to throwing him off from the top of a steel cage at Extreme Rules, Strowman has made Owens' life miserable.

Owens tried to avoid Strowman's wrath on multiple occasions but always got those hands every time he tried to run away. But this time Owens himself asked for a match with Strowman at SummerSlam.

The former Universal Champion requested Raw commissioner Stephanie McMahon to put Strowman's MITB contract on the line and added that he would get the contract if he wins by any means, even if Strowman gets disqualified or counted out.

Vince McMahon put the MITB contract on Braun Strowman as a backup plan if the crowd reaction was not right when Roman Reigns wins the Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar. But that might not be the case right now.

WWE played it well with the Brock Lesnar's championship reign and made the fans tired of Brock not defending the title often and not showing up on the weekly programs. The fans will now accept Reigns as the Universal Champion as the only thing they want is to get the title away from Lesnar.

Big men like Strowman holding the MITB contract takes away the surprise factor. It's always better off if a heel superstar holds the MITB who would look to cash it in when the champion least expects it, through underhanded tactics.

Kevin Owens could play that role to perfection, and WWE should have Owens defeat Strowman at SummerSlam and walk away with the MITB contract.
