The LAST thing Raw needs is this again.

#3 Braun Strowman has far better options available

Aside from Braun Strowman being far more popular than Kevin Owens, with fans long since waiting for him to win the championship, his reign as champion presents far more interesting possibilities.

Obviously, there's Roman Reigns. Their feud was last year's best, and I sure wouldn't mind seeing a new take on it now that they're both babyfaces.

There's Bobby Lashley, who would be a powerhouse for Braun Strowman to do battle with. A heel turn for Lashley would be best advised to make it an even more intriguing possibility.

There's Finn Balor, who could finally get his Universal Championship rematch and who had a series of fun matches with Braun Strowman on Raw earlier this year. If he finally brought back the Demon, things would get even more interesting.

For Survivor Series, a match with either AJ Styles or Samoa Joe would be eagerly awaited, neither of which has happened before, and would present a very interesting contrast of styles, no matter which one of them it is.

Most intriguing of all, there's Drew McIntyre, whose brief exchange with Strowman on Raw a couple of months ago sent the crowd into a frenzy. If there's anyone that could pose a believable, formidable challenge to Braun Strowman on Monday nights, it's McIntyre, and in my eyes, it has the potential to be a legitimate WrestleMania feud.

None of those possibilities are available with Kevin Owens as champion. The cycle with Roman Reigns chasing the Universal Championship would inevitably continue. Raw badly needs to move past that cycle. If the loss of 10% of its audience since just last year is any indication, Raw's viewers agree.

A Braun Strowman title reign offers the possibility of renewal. A Kevin Owens run wouldn't.
