WWE: 3 feuds for Brock Lesnar after WrestleMania defeat
By Mark Justice
2.) Kevin Owens
‘Just keep fighting’, eh? Unlike Aleister Black, Kevin Owens has already reached main event status as a heel but his new babyface run needs big wins over monster heels, like Brock Lesnar. Owens already accomplished the first step of defeating the heel-like Beast Slayer #1, Seth Rollins, at WWE WrestleMania 36.
That victory should be a stepping stone to defeating the actual Beast at some point in 2020. If a superstar can defeat the Beast Slayer, that superstar can also defeat the Beast, right? That’s logical booking, right? Oh wait. This is WWE. But let’s not digress.
With Drew McIntyre thriving as a babyface WWE Champion on Raw, Kevin Owens would very likely be away from the championship picture due to babyface-heel dynamics in main roster rivalries. Henceforth, Owens needs to battle heels in non-title matches to keep his momentum going as the top babyface and newborn leader of Monday Night Raw.
Win, lose, or draw, a rivalry with Brock Lesnar would give Owens the babyface momentum he needs for a future WWE Championship opportunity. The WWE Championship has eluded Owens’ career for far too long and a fun-filled rivalry with a former WWE Champion would do more than wonders for the Prizefighter’s rise to the top of the WWE food chain. This rivalry would determine who the best Prizefighter truly is as well as who is more willing to dominate Monday Nights.
