#5 Braun Strowman squashes Kevin Owens

This feud has not been good to KO.

Honestly, this an extremely unfortunate possibility. WWE has booked Kevin Owens to look like a coward for more than two months now and seem to have had a lot of fun with it. Owens has been manhandled by Braun Strowman numerous times over the course of this feud. It all culminated in Strowman sending Owens through the announce table from the top of a steel cage, gifting him the ironic victory at Extreme Rules.

Since then, a rematch has been booked for SummerSlam, with Strowman's Money in the Bank contract on the line. People think that Owens could win the briefcase and while he does make an excellent Mr.Money in the Bank, it is all just false hope. It will end with the Monster Among Men squashing Kevin Owens for the quick and easy victory.

At the past two SummerSlam events, there has been one match that was severely compromised due to timing issues. In 2016, Roman Reigns vs Rusev turned into a brawl around the ringside area. Last year, Rusev was a victim of an 8-second match against Randy Orton which was honestly more of an angle than a match. If any match is going to be cut short for time, it is this one.

A feud as one-sided as this is bound to end with Strowman winning and keeping his briefcase. Anything other than a Strowman squash would indeed be a pleasant surprise.
