5 potential opponents for Kevin Owens' WWE Intercontinental Championship
Owens as the Intercontinental championAt WWE Night of Champions, the WWE Universe got exactly what they wanted. Ryback lost his Intercontinental belt. It’s not that WWE fans wanted Ryback to fail, but his reign as IC champion wasn’t going as planned. Despite the feud between Owens and Ryback started two weeks before Night of Champions, the result was successful and the WWE should remain proud of Owens and his accomplishments. Immediately after the match, Triple H and Kevin Owens took a picture backstage.HHH praised the new champ in a very big way. It appears that Ryback will take on Owens for the strap at Hell in a Cell. There’s no word on what kind of match it will be, but a gimmick match for this type of battle is likely. Since Owens is so diverse and can wrestle with literally anybody on the roster, a limit to his opponents doesn’t exist. If he had to work a program with the Big Show or Neville, both would have its fair share of excitement and drama. That’s the beauty of Kevin Owens. He can work with anybody and will represent the Intercontinental championship By using that logic, these next 5 WWE superstars would make for great opponents to Owens.
#1 Neville
These two have wrestled in WWE NXT before. Kevin Owens and Neville are two of the best wrestlers in the world. Both have starred in top shows on the Independent circuit, but WWE NXT is where they became famous. Neville and Owens were WWE NXT Heavyweight champions, but have slightly different stories on the main roster. Owens immediately entered into a feud with John Cena, while Neville remained in the mid-card. He’s in a meaningless feud with the Lucha Dragons and the Cosmic Chaos. It’s quite obvious that he needs out.
Owens should challenge Neville in the near-future, simply because the wrestling would steal the show each night. Then again, every person on this list would enhance Owens’ skill and that of the WWE’s other talent. Since Neville is a major babyface, that gives Owens enough ammunition to to dastardly things, like a heel should do.
