Kevin Owens will defeat Cody Rhodes for WWE Undisputed Championship

Kevin Owens is single-handedly telling one of the most interesting stories going on in wrestling today. He’s turned on Cody Rhodes for a simple reason. Rhodes decided to team with Owens’s enemy in Roman Reigns, and now he can no longer trust the man he called his friend. Fans are locked into this story and it is going so well that it’s time to put the championship on Kevin Owens.

Owens has long been recognized as one of the best at all things professional wrestling and sports entertainment. He knows how to put on a great match, capable of keeping up with anyone regardless of style and generation. His promo skills are among the best in the world across all promotions. He can work as a serious heel, a comedic babyface, and everything in-between. Kevin Owens can do it all.

Still, WWE hasn’t given him the opportunity to be “The Guy.” Yes, he held the WWE Universal Championship for 188 days back in 2016-2017, but that run felt like a transitional shift that was all but confirmed by how he lost the title to Goldberg. He picked up wins against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins during that tenure as champion, but Owens never truly got his due as the top man in the organization. This would be an opportunity to correct that at a time when WWE is riding a wave of momentum like it hasn’t seen before.

Putting the championship on Owens at this time would open the doors to a lot of different opportunities. There are stories to tell about Owens against the likes of Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, CM Punk, and even John Cena as he enters his farewell tour. Giving Owens the space to be a top champion in this iteration of WWE would create some of the best wrestling and sports entertainment to be seen on television. He has all the tools to be the guy for the biggest company in wrestling, so here’s to hoping that he gets the opportunity sooner, rather than later.

Cody Rhodes has put together an effective time as WWE Undisputed Champion. There have been points where fans have complained about his direction, mostly when he’s wrapped up in The Bloodline’s orbit. But the work he’s done with Kevin Owens has been the best to date. This is why fans are pushing for Owens to win the WWE Undisputed Championship, finally getting his time at the top of the largest promotion in wrestling. He’s long overdue.
