WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reasons Brock Lesnar Should Win

1. A WWE Prizefight with Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens has often viewed himself as a true prizefighter in the WWE. On his first night on the WWE main roster, he made a statement by challenging John Cena. This would lead to a huge victory in his first main roster match. While it took a few years to win a major championship, Owens has established himself as one of the top prizefighters in the WWE. It also doesn’t surprise anyone that Owens wants to face someone like Brock Lesnar.

That sort of nickname usually goes to professional fighters in the worlds of boxing and mixed martial arts. Brock Lesnar has certainly made himself a prizefighter in his own right. He was the UFC Heavyweight Champion in his brief mixed martial arts career. Lesnar has also held four world championships in the WWE.

Both men have put together some pretty successful careers in the squared circle. And the two would arguably be viewed as the top prizefighters in the company. Having them battle for the WWE Universal Championship does provide a unique matchup for the main event of WrestleMania 33. One that can be marketed as a high-profile prizefight in the company.
