5 Ways Kevin Owens Can Win The Money in the Bank Contract From Braun Strowman

At first glance this is a mismatched contest, isn't it? The Monster Among Men appears as an unstoppable 'monster', for lack of a better term, and while Kevin Owens is certainly a talented in-ring performer, he's never been displayed at the same level as Owens. And yet, Owens has the opportunity to become Mr Money in the Bank at SummerSlam. How will this match of epic proportions eventually play out?

I will explore 5 possibilities in this article. 5 possibilities where Kevin Owens somehow manages to outwit Braun Strowman or luck somehow favours him. Which leads him to become the next Mr Money in the Bank.

But defeating Braun Strowman is certainly no easy feat. Will WWE booking allows for Kevin Owens to pull off such a massive coup at SummerSlam, this weekend?

I am just as much in the dark as you are, but yes, I can certainly speculate.

#5 Lars Sullivan knocks Kevin Owens out

Strowman vs. Sullivan could be the ultimate King Kong vs. Godzilla feud!

So many comparisons are often made between Lars Sullivan and Braun Strowman because of their monstrous look and supremely scary attitudes. So much so, that I even had a chance to ask Strowman about it, during a recent interview. There's usually a call up to RAW during SummerSlam (or right after), and this could be the perfect stage for Sullivan to make his big debut. But the debut could happen, with a big swerve.

Let's assume that Kevin Owens is Stephanie McMahon's guy, the one she wants as Universal Champion. She instructs Sullivan to interfere during the match and instead of attacking Strowman, she tells him to take out Kevin Owens. Strowman would lose the match and also his contract.

Will Kevin Owens cash in during Lesnar vs. Reigns then? Maybe after both men knock each other out!

#4 Jinder Mahal knocks Strowman out

Owens and Mahal have formed the oddest alliance in recent times

Sami Zayn is injured and no longer a part of RAW, as an unfortunate result. In his absence, Kevin Owens has formed the strangest alliance with Jinder Mahal. Both of these men could solidify their relationship by scoring a comprehensive victory over Strowman. When the referee is down or distracted, Mahal could interfere during this match and take Strowman out with his own briefcase.

This would essentially lead to a feud between Jinder Mahal and Braun Strowman, following SummerSlam. More importantly, it would allow for Owens to pick up a pinfall victory over Braun Strowman, allowing him to boast and brag. It would certainly make for some interesting moments immediately following SummerSlam.

And as I have previously discussed, it could allow for Owens to make an appearance in the main event match of SummerSlam. This would certainly be a better use of Mahal, than his current role.

#3 Strowman uses a foreign object, gets himself disqualified

Poor Roman

Strowman is a man who has a tough time containing his anger. Maybe he brings steel steps or a chair into the match. While that would mean that he can effectively lay his opponent out with utmost ease, it would also get him disqualified from the match. And it would make Kevin Owens Mr Money in the Bank by default.

Remember how Strowman threw Owens off the steel cage at Extreme Rules but lost the match in doing so?

#2 Strowman chases after Mahal, gets himself disqualified

This would be a strange way for the contract to change hands, but it could be interesting!

We established the fact that Jinder Mahal could play a big role in this match. But it need not necessarily be with Mahal laying The Monster out. After all, it's a rare sight indeed to see Braun Strowman take a pin.

Jinder Mahal could distract Strowman, from up the ramp. This would lead to Strowman chasing Mahal and getting himself counted out. Of course, he would lay a beating on Mahal, but Kevin Owens would be Mr Money in the Bank in the process.

Will we be as invested in a Mahal vs. Strowman feud, after SummerSlam is done? I can't speak for you, but I don't think I will be!

#1 Owens picks up a clean victory over Strowman

If WWE really wants Owens as Universal Champion, they must do this

Yes, I do know just how bulletproof WWE has made Strowman seem, for the last few years. But if they are invested in the idea of Owens as a Universal Champion, maybe they'll book him in a strong manner too. Maybe with a distraction or a slip up from Strowman, Owens manages to pin the monster. And thereby becomes Mr. Money in the Bank.

Yes, it would send shockwaves around the world, at once. Then again, they would be the right kind of shockwaves. It would enforce how much WWE believes in a supremely talented sports entertainer.

How do you think this match will play out? Do you think Owens has any chance?
