What if Kevin Owens beats Braun Strowman?
SummerSlam will feature a match between Braun Strowman with the Money in the Bank contract on the line. The prevailing wisdom going into the show is that the Owens feud has simply been a way of keeping Strowman occupied on his way to cashing in his briefcase, and perhaps turning heel in the process as he finally captures his first world title.
There is another possibility, though. Owens is an established WWE star at this point, and the only full-time talent to have held the Universal Championship for more than a day. Thus, is it so unreasonable to think of Owens as not a placeholder, but rather the guy as WWE transitions from summer to fall, and presumably out of the era of Brock Lesnar reigning as Raw’s champ?
Nothing’s for certain, but if Owens were to beat Strowman at SummerSlam, it would open a number of interesting opportunities for WWE’s next steps.. This article looks at five key possibilities.
