Clash of Champions 2017: 5 reasons why Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Randy Orton should main event

#4 It will probably be the best match of the night

zayn and owens — Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn might have Daniel Bryan on their side

This show looks to feature seven matches in all, including one pre-show match. They don’t look like bad matches on paper and certainly won’t be bad matches when they actually occur on Sunday night. But none of them have nearly the potential that Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. Randy Orton & Shinsuke Nakamura does.

No offence to AJ Styles, but he’s had two attempts and has only been able to pull, at best, a decent match out of his challenger on Sunday, Jinder Mahal.

The other matches will all range from decent to very good, but the tag team main event has the potential, even the likelihood, of being a legitimately great match.

Maybe not an all-time classic as there’s likely going to be a lot of interactions between the wrestlers and referees, but it will be exciting and feature the wrestling of four of the best in the business, who will give it their very best. It’s going to be the best match of the night, and that’s definitely the match that should go on last.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
