There may or may not be a stipulation added to this heated personal rivalry. But with Randy Orton vs. Edge potentially being a Last Man Standing match, this might not need a caveat added to it's proceedings.

Not every match on the card will be for a title or have a stipulation attached to it. These two performers are good enough on their own that they don't need one. A good way to prolong the feud would be for Owens to win and then have a special match at the next PPV or on an episode of RAW.

It's funny to think that this wouldn't be a main event match due to Rollins being the Universal Champ as late as last October. He's also going from the "main event" to a match that will likely open either night. A lot happens in a year, but both men are great at selling rivalries and this one hasn't been any different.

With AOP a member down and Murphy not likely to be busy on the card, they could be involved in some fashion. Whenever the match happens, it would be a good bout to open Night 1 and/or be sandwiched in between two matches with more on the line.
