Predicting the next 5 Universal Champions

#1 Kevin Owens, Clash of Champions 2018

Kevin Owens reclaims his Universal Championship against "The Cleaner"!

Kenny Omega would successfully defend the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns at Survivor Series. After that, he asked for anyone who thinks they can challenge the best wrestler in the world to come out, which led to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to answer the call. They wanted to know who Kenny Omega thinks he is.

Owens wondered if Omega thought he was special because he beat Roman Reigns or because he beat Chris Jericho in front of Japan? Owens would then say that he beat both of them in front of bigger crowds then Omega could even imagine. Zayn would be backing up everything that Owens said. Kurt Angle would then make the match for Clash of Champions between Kevin Owens and Kenny Omega for the Universal Championship.

On that night there would be a highly contested match between the two, but after a V-Trigger Sami Zayn would distract both Omega and the ref, allowing Owens to hit a low blow followed by the debut in WWE of the Package Piledriver for the win and the Universal Championship.

After such a long reign as the WWE Universal Champion by Brock Lesnar, 2018 will be the year of many different WWE Universal Champions. Predicting the next five WWE Universal Champions is not easy. The direction of the belt could go many different ways.

These champions do not just feel like the right ones, but also the most fun and realistic direction that the company could go with the belt. Feel free to go back and check out my previous article in this series "Predicting the Next 5: WWE Champion" and there will be much more added in the future. Remember, these are just predictions but you never know...
