WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reasons Brock Lesnar Should Win

2. Non-Traditional Face vs Heel Match

As things currently stand, Kevin Owens is holding the WWE Universal Championship on Raw. AJ Styles is also currently holding the WWE Championship on SmackDown Live. Both men are well respected by the WWE Universe. They also have a lot of love from the internet wrestling community, even though they are both billed as heels by the creative writing staff and WWE officials.

While both men have flourished as heels on WWE television, they are going to likely receive huge ovations if they carry major championships into WrestleMania 33. It doesn’t matter if they are villainous, the wrestling fans who tend to come to WrestleMania are going to show love for them because they are two of the best in all of wrestling.

Owens and Styles are two wrestlers who came from the independent circuit and other major promotions that were once viewed as anti-WWE. But in recent years, wrestlers like them and others have gotten their opportunities in the WWE. With that being the case, Brock Lesnar would be booed by the WrestleMania crowd regardless of which WWE champion he challenged in the main event.

Having Lesnar challenge for the WWE Championship or the WWE Universal Championship is going to make him an instant heel against either Kevin Owens or AJ Styles.
