5 Superstars who could win the WWE Championship in 2018

#2 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens was the hottest act of 2016 next to AJ Styles. No one saw it coming when Triple H helped Owens to win the Universal Championship. His story line friendship with Chris Jericho created a lot of feel good moments; certainly more than in the the recent history of the WWE.

However, all of that changed on November 2016, when Goldberg returned to the company. Owens's days as champion were numbered as he had to drop the title to the part timer. In consolation, he was given the United states championship and was drafted to Smackdown Live as part of the superstar shake up.

Kevin Owens went on to have a great series of matches with AJ Styles over the United states championship and main evented the 'Hell in a Cell' pay-per-view along with Shane McMahon.

Giving Owens the WWE Championship will naturally help fuel to his feud with Shane & Daniel Bryan and having the enigmatic Sami Zayn an his corner will only boost his popularity. No matter which way you look at it; it is readily apparent that Kevin Owens as WWE Champion would truly be the best thing for the business.
