The Universal Championship is the top prize of the Raw brand. Whereas in the SmackDown Live we have the WWE Championship.
Brock Lesnar is currently holding the Universal Title and he is going to defend it against Roman Reigns at the SummerSlam pay-per-view. Fans are very curious to see the result of this upcoming match.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
There are rumors suggesting that Roman will become the new Universal Champion at SummerSlam but we can't forget that there is another match confirmed for the PPV where Braun Strowman will defend his Money In The Bank contract against Kevin Owens.
Let's assume that Kevin Owens somehow beats Strowman and ends up cashing in his MITB briefcase on that night to become the first ever two time Universal Champion. Now he is a full-time wrestler, and he will defend the title on a weekly basis.
He can catch the attention on WWE Universe if the company decides to involve him in a feud. In this article, we are going to take a look at four feuds for Kevin Owens if he is going to win the Universal Championship at SummerSlam.
#4 Finn Balor
There was a time when Finn Balor was the top star of Monday Night Raw. He gained popularity in the independent circuit and later joined New Japan Pro Wrestling where he became more popular. He is also a former leader of the famous faction 'Bullet Club'.
He joined NXT in 2014 and in one year he became the NXT champion and held the belt for 296 days.
Later in 2016, WWE announced that six Superstars from NXT will get drafted to the main roster.
Balor was one of them and he was drafted on Raw where within a month, he became the first-ever Universal Champion of the WWE when he defeated Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016. But he got injured during the match and for that reason, WWE forced him to relinquish his title the next night on Raw. Since then, he never received the re-match for the title he never lost.
Why this match can happen: In recent times he proved himself that he is capable of holding the top prize of the Raw brand. Recently, Kurt Angle also said that he will get a title opportunity soon. If he is going to win the title soon then he should bring his 'Demon King' avatar back.
#3 Seth Rollins
'The Architect' Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler are scheduled to face each other at the SummerSlam, where Ziggler will defend his Intercontinental Championship.
There are rumors stating that finally, we will see the return of 'The Lunatic Fringe' Dean Ambrose. In this match, he can return as a heel wrestler but chances are higher that he will return to help Seth Rollins.
Ziggler is a talented wrestler and he should keep the Intercontinental title for some more time. While Rollins can move on to the Universal Title picture if Kevin Owens is going to win the title at SummerSlam.
Why this match can happen: Since now, 2018 have been the year for Rollins where received huge support from the fans and he also had a great Intercontinental Title reign too.
He is one of the top babyfaces of the company and involving him in a feud with the best heel of the company will definitely make the Universal Title more relevant than it is now.
#2 Braun Strowman
Owens and Strowman are going to face each other at the SummerSlam. There is also a special stipulation added to their match where if Strowman loses the match in any way then he will be stripped of his Money In The Bank briefcase.
Strowman is one of those wrestlers who dominate over everybody but in SummerSlam, he can become the reason for his own loss.
As we all know that he disqualified himself many times in the past and most recently he was counted out himself in a match where he was facing Jinder Mahal.
The same can happen during his SummerSlam where he can disqualify himself once again in the match and if this happens then he will no longer hold the briefcase in his hand.
Why this match can happen: If Strowman is about to lose against Owens at the SummerSlam then it's almost confirmed that we will see a feud between these two superstars.
After all, how can he leave Owens (who took his Money In The Bank briefcase from him) without letting him 'Get These Hands!'
They can continue their feud which can end with Strowman winning the title. Recently, they both generated so much heat on Raw and this can happen again.
#1 Roman Reigns
If Roman Reigns is going to win the Universal Championship at SummerSlam then it is highly likely that Kevin Owens will cash-in the Money In The Bank on him (as we previously assumed that he will win the Money In The Bank briefcase).
Rumors are strongly suggesting that 'The Big Dog' will defeat Lesnar at SummerSlam to become the next Universal Champion. He is chasing for the title from this year's WrestleMania but he failed to marmalize Lesnar but this can finally happen at the Biggest Party of the Summer.
Why this match can happen: If the Prizefighter will cash-in the briefcase on Reigns then there is no doubt that we will see a feud between these two superstars for the title in future.
In this way, Owens will get the title whereas Roman will get sympathy from the fans and this might become beneficial for the WWE. Because of having a heel persona, the fans will probably cheer Roman Reigns instead of Kevin Owens.
Who should be the next Universal Champion of the WWE? Have your say in the comments.
