WWE Backlash 2017: 5 Reasons Kevin Owens will retain the US championship against AJ Styles

Kevin Owens should retain the United States championship at Backlash.

#1 Another longtime rival could be the one to take the title from Owens as retribution

The Zayn/Owens rivalry could once again resume with Owens having more to lose this time around

Have you ever watched a match and just thought the certain performers create magic together?

An Owens’ title win isn't a knock against Styles or even the rest of the SmackDown Live roster. However, what it would do is set up the inevitable rekindled rivalry between him and Sami Zayn.

Fans may recall that during Zayn's time in NXT, he was often considered the guy that couldn't win the big one. He would come close only to lose time and time again (something that Tye Dillinger can relate to.)

We believe that Zayn is the one best suited to defeat Owens, as another chapter in the story of their rivalry. It could become a story of retribution for all that he has had to endure, from losing the NXT title to being held back on Raw and Smackdown.
