3) Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn
All wrestling fans know the history between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. They wrestled all over the world together for a decade before heading to NXT. They had an incredible feud in NXT before they were both called up to the main roster. They have even put on some great matches already in 2016 (see Battleground 2016 for reference).
Why not have these guys wrestle again for the WWE Universal Title? WWE already has a built-in back story with this match. Most wrestling fans know that Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are bitter rivals. They know there is bad blood between them.
These two get “Fight Forever” chants whenever they step inside the ring together so I don’t think too many fans would have an issue with them squaring off on the biggest stage of them all.
Sami Zayn is the perfect underdog who fans want to get behind. Let him and Kevin Owens put together an incredible match together (like they always do) and entertain the crowd.
WWE would need to book Zayn strongly in the next couple of months leading into Wrestlemania season, but it certainly could be done. Maybe even the underdog Sami Zayn winning the Royal Rumble, earning the shot against his former best friend and bitter enemy?
