5 Possible Matches for Kevin Owens at Wrestlemania 34 

The ongoing feud between Shane McMahon and the team of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn has dominated Tuesday nights since last Summer. The story, which began with Kevin Owens claiming Shane McMahon had screwed him out of the US title has taken many twists in the months since and has even had WWE fans flirting with the idea of a Daniel Bryan in-ring return.

In the most recent turn of events, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn lost their WWE title match against AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble, and if events on this week's Smackdown are anything to go by, it looks as though the company could be shifting focus away from Shane McMahon, and onto internal problems between the pair.

So where exactly is the WWE heading with all of this? It has been a confusing storyline that has left many fans scratching their heads and wondering what the WWE's end game is. Part of this is likely due to the on-going saga concerning Daniel Bryan. Right now, it feels as though they are making it up as they go along, which begs the question, how is all of this going to end? Let's take a look at five possible matches for Kevin Owens at Wrestlemania 34 and we are going to get there.

---

#1 A One on One Match With Shane McMahon

The Smackdown Commissioner is never far from the spotlight

In many ways, the most logical conclusion to all of this mess would be to have Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon step back in the ring together on the grandest stage of them all. We all know that Shane can't stay away from the spotlight and he is guaranteed to find his way onto this year's Wrestlemania card one way or another.

The two men put on an excellent Hell in a Cell match at the pay per view of the same name back in October and they could no doubt repeat that success again at Wrestlemania, given the right stipulation of course.

This could also be a nice way of including Daniel Bryan in the match, by having him join the bout as a special referee. There could even be the stipulation that the loser has to leave Smackdown

#2 A One on One Match With Sami Zayn

Will best friends become the best of enemies once again?

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens have a long and well-documented history in the ring together, and fans know that they can't expect a classic whenever they step foot between the ropes.

That being said, this match has already happened several times in the WWE and undoubtedly feels like the laziest route for them to go down. If Sami or Kevin turns on the other, like they teased this week on Smackdown, it would basically be a carbon copy of the Jericho and Owens feud from this time last year.

The chances of this happening increased this week and that could be down to Daniel Bryan's current condition within the company. If they have not medically cleared Bryan to return to the ring, then there is every chance the WWE could quietly fade Shane and Bryan into the background and have Sami and Owens implode to end the storyline.

#3 A Tag Match with Sami Zayn against Shane McMahon and a Mystery Partner

Shane McMahon may seek to level the playing field at Wrestlemania

Until this week's edition of Smackdown, this would have been the most expected close to this storyline. Shane McMahon has abused his power for months and Kevin and Sami have felt the rough end of it and the most logical end to that storyline would be some sort of tag match between them all.

From a storyline perspective, Daniel Bryan could work as Shane's partner, with the two finally forming a united front. That seems unlikely at this juncture, though, so the next best bet would be Randy Orton.

With Shinsuke winning the Royal Rumble, Randy has very little to do on Tuesday nights at the moment and it's difficult to imagine him being left off the Wrestlemania card altogether.

An outside bet would be Chris Jericho, given his history with Kevin Owens but he has concerts lined up with Fozzy that weekend, so we can probably rule that out.

#4 A Match with Sami Zayn for the Tag Team Titles

The Usos are in need of legitimate challengers in New Orleans

It remains to be seen as to whether or not the WWE is going to keep Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens together as a team on Tuesday nights but if they do, and Shane McMahon is otherwise occupied, a match against The Usos might be the perfect bout for the pair.

The Usos are on fire right now and they have pretty much worked their way through all the viable challengers on Smackdown. They will face and most likely defeat The Bludgeon Brothers at Fastlane, and that will leave them looking for a new match at Mania.

This would be an underwhelming conclusion to what has been a near nine-month long storyline but if there is a new direction for Shane to go in, don't be surprised to see them just drop the KO storyline very quickly.

#5 A Match with Randy Orton

Randy Orton won't be left off the Mania Card, could KO step up to the plate?

When taking a look at potential matches we could see at this year's Wrestlemania, there is one man who has no clear sense of direction- Randy Orton. Orton is an integral part of Tuesday nights and still one of the biggest names working in the WWE today, there is no chance he will not be given anything to do at Wrestlemania.

Randy has effectively been working as hired muscle for Shane McMahon over the last few months and it wouldn't take much to set this match up. The feud is something we have not seen before in the WWE and given the right amount of time, could work wonders for both men.

This would also free Sami up for a possible match with Shane McMahon at Wrestlemania, which again, would give the fans a fresh match up to see. Whether we like it or not, being given a match against Shane McMahon is, in the eyes of the company, a big push and it could be a sign that they are finally getting ready to pull the fin on Sami.
