Brock Lesnar is set to face Kofi Kingston at the premiere show of SmackDown live on the FOX Network for the prestigious WWE Championship. The two Superstars are set to battle for the first time inside the squared circle and the signs do suggest that the company is keen on keeping the Beast Incarnate on the Blue Brand for the foreseeable future, simply because WWE wants to make the most of their association with FOX.
Brock Lesnar is one of the most famous Superstars around and his presence on SmackDown Live will surely enhance the ratings, in what will be a new era for the Blue Brand of the company.
Apart from Brock Lesnar, there is one another megastar who seems to be on his way to something special in the near future, and that man is Kevin Owens. Owens has been a spectacular performer for the company and his battle against Shane McMahon has garnered a lot of praises from the WWE enthusiasts.
Owens, with his incredible mic skills and awe-inspiring aura will certainly be a suitable opponent for someone like Brock Lesnar and here we list down five reasons why WWE should book a battle between these two Superstars soon.
#5 An authority defying anti-hero vs a dominant heel
Kevin Owens has emerged as one of the hottest commodities of the company and avid fans of the company have even drawn comparisons between Owens and the legendary Stone Cold Steve Austin, which is in itself a massive compliment for the Prizefighter from Canada.
Owens' struggles against Shane McMahon have been well received by the WWE Universe as the two have collided on one too many occasions. Stone Cold too had a memorable feud with the McMahons back in the 90s and hence the comparisons, including the stunner move is a key aspect of the feud.
Owens' character has been portrayed as an authority defying anti-hero, who doesn't believe in following orders and to pit him up against a bully such as Brock Lesnar would be a top move to solidify the former's status in the company.
Although Owens may be a rebel, Brock Lesnar, on the other hand, is a dominant heel. The Beast Incarnate is one of the toughest men to ever grace the squared circle and it's no secret that the former Universal Champion is a wrecking-machine who loves to hurt people.
Owens hasn't been one to keep his thoughts to himself and loves to speak his heart out. Brock Lesnar has, for a long time now, been the elephant in the room and despite blunt accusations from men like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and others regarding the favouritism Lesnar enjoys, the company never seems to learn a lesson, something which could be taught by Kevin Owens.
#4 First time ever
The WWE universe loves the idea of two wrestlers squaring off for the first time and if Brock Lesnar and Kevin Owens do face off, fans will be witness to the first ever encounter between these two Superstars. The duo may have competed on Live shows but nothing prominent has ever happened between the two on the main shows.
Kevin Owens has been on the main roster since 2015, a period in which he has collided with numerous big names ranging from Seth Rollins to Shane McMahon. While most of those men are world-class competitors, Brock Lesnar could prove to be a force to reckon with for Owens.
As for Brock Lesnar, the former Universal Champion has feuded with the likes of Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman in the past couple of years, with short term spells against Samoa Joe and Kane also taking place.
However, the Beast Incarnate is yet to feud with Kevin Owens inside the squared circle and the sense of freshness surrounding this feud is captivating.
#3 The feud will be high on promos
It's no secret that the company is struggling in terms of storylines these days. Long gone are the days when Superstars stood in the ring and cut fabulous promos. Promos are an essential part of the company and have played a key role in grabbing the attention of millions of fans all around the globe.
Kevin Owens has extremely good mic skills and his ability to deliver a decent promo is what makes him a valuable asset to the company. Brock Lesnar, on the other hand, may not be that vocal or exuberant with the mic, but his advocate Paul Heyman is no stranger to holding the mic.
Heyman has time and again proved to the world why he is regarded highly by the WWE creative with his sensational mic skills coming to the fore more often than not. The former GM of SmackDown has played a huge role in shaping Brock Lesnar's career and it is hard to imagine the Beast Incarnate without his shrewd and utterly brilliant manager by his side.
When Owens and Lesnar do face off, the mic skills of Owens when compared to Heyman will be a key feature of the clash.
#2 An astute fighter up against a powerhouse
Brock Lesnar is a freak of nature and his portrayal of strength has been witnessed by the WWE Universe on numerous occasions. The Beast has beat a long list of men, right from John Cena to The Undertaker and there is no arguing that the fact that Brock Lesnar's fighting style relies extensively on his brute strength.
Kevin Owens, on the other hand, is a thinking fighter who strikes at the right time and at the right place. He may not be a behemoth like Lesnar is but the The Prizefighter has dominated quite a few men in the squared circle with his vast set of moves and will certainly be a worthy opponent for the Beast Incarnate.
Avid followers of WWE will agree to the fact that both these men have different styles, which makes this highly anticipated bout between Lesnar and Owens all the more exciting. Owens' shrewdness up against Lesnar's superhuman strength promises a fiesty clash between the two Superstars.
WWE Creative wouldn't have to worry about selling the match between the two as the meg-entertainers will certainly sell it comfortably, simply because Lesnar and Owens complement each other with their massive auras.
#1 Embark the Age of Owens
Kevin Owens has had a fascinating career so far, filled with ups and downs. The Prizefighter broke onto the main scene in a spectacular fashion when he took on John Cena for the United States Championship in 2015. His main roster debut was immensely appreciated by the WWE Universe as Owens went toe-to-toe with the Leader of Cenation at Elimination Chamber, a match he won by pinfall.
Ardent followers of the company have never had any doubts about Owens' potential as the Canadian Superstar possesses the right blend of in-ring prowess and dynamic mic-skills. His Universal title proved that KO belongs to the main event scene and it might be time for the company to allot a prominent spot for him in the big picture. A feud with Brock Lesnar may well help kick start 'The Age of Owens'.
Owens' feud with the McMahons has been a long-ranging, one that has convinced the WWE fanatics that Kevin Owens can carry the company and a battle against the Beast Incarnate may help Owens cement his place at the top.
