And finally, at #1 on the list, we have none other than Kevin Owens.

On the December 17th, 2018 episode of Raw, we witnessed a vignette that hyped up the fact that The Prize Fighter was making his return to Monday nights. The last time we saw Owens appear on Raw was October 6th, 2018- when Owens went face to face with Bobby Lashley in a match where we saw a double turn occur, with Owens turning face for the second time in his WWE career- with the first being when he debuted on NXT.

Breaking Vince Russo and Jim Cornette update HERE.

Owens was written off television due to the fact that he had suffered injuries on both of his knees which required surgery. It would make perfect sense for Owens to return and immediately go after Bobby Lashley for injuring him, but there is no denying that after that rivalry is settled - he could go after Dean Ambrose in a quest to regain the Intercontinental Championship, a title which he has already held twice.

We have seen Owens and Ambrose battle multiple times before, and their past rivalry was also for the Intercontinental title. Ambrose was the one who had taken the title away from Owens in 2016, as their feud culminated in a Last Man Standing Match at the 2016 Royal Rumble event. At that time, Owens was a heel whereas Ambrose was wrestling as a babyface.

But with both men's alignments now being changed, we could see a change in style for both men in the ring as well as segments. Ambrose & Owens can hold their own in a mic, and we could see a war on the mic as well as the ring as well. The two men have put on great matches before, so there would be no qualms in the two superstars having excellent matches again.

Most importantly, if Owens to challenge Ambrose - it would give Ambrose the perfect match in terms of opponents. Both men are brutal with their styles, and they both always have intentions to destroy their opponents. The Prizefighter would be an exceptional foil for Ambrose, and he could the one to take the Intercontinental Championship away from The Moral Compass of WWE.
