5 ways to guarantee a sensational Royal Rumble 2018

#4 Kevin Owens turns on Sami Zayn to reignite a classic rivalry

This historic rivalry needs another chapter

If there is one rivalry in WWE that has all the ingredients to become one of the greatest feuds of all time, then it is surely Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens. These two have been the hottest thing on SmackDown Live in 2017 and still continue to engage the crowd with their versatility in and outside the ring. The duo has always had a love-hate relationship and that is what makes this rivalry beautiful and emotional.

They are scheduled to face AJ Styles in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match this Sunday and while the outcome may be predictable considering WWE is rumoured to push the envelope with Styles & Nakamura at WrestleMania 34, it would be an ideal way to set another bout that can define the tone of SmackDown Live and overcome Monday Night Raw with its powerful and hard hitting story telling.

Imagining a possibility where Sami Zayn would be close to pinning 'the Phenomenal One', a spark of arrogance by the Prizefighter could turn things around and change the whole complexion of the match. An eventual turn by Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble seems a bit early but these two definitely need to set a major one-on-one match at WrestleMania.

There's no denying that Sami Zayn brings out the best in KO & the latter can ignite a fire within 'the Underdog' that no other superstar on the blue brand has been able to do. Book this right and you have a match for the ages.
