#6 Kevin Owens vs Bobby Lashley

Can Owens return to action before WrestleMania 35?

Like the Triple H match, this one is contingent upon Owens being able to return by March at some point.

He's currently recovering from double-knee surgery, and the rumored timetable puts him back around March or April.

While the build to a potential WrestleMania match wouldn't need months, it would likely need at least a couple of Raw episodes before the big show to build the feud. It wouldn't be one of the major matches on the show, hence not needing months of build up.

Owens will be returning to seek revenge on Lashley (again) after suffering an injury at Lashley's hands.

He'd also be trying to avenge friend Sami Zayn, and Owens would be the face in the feud for the first time in his WWE career.

The fans in Chicago were clearly behind him in the match in which he was injured, so getting the crowd to cheer him won't be hard. Lashley just doesn't seem to excite fans, and that is what facilitated his heel turn.

If Owens cannot return, perhaps it would be Sami Zayn instead. Or maybe Lashley enters the consolation battle royal.
