I was thinking about the Universal Title. It really should be on Brock if they want people to take it seriously, and status quo booking would suggest that Seth Rollins gets it and holds it until they get a spook when ratings go down or Balor returns to win it back. But if they really wanted to shake things up, and given that they aren't exactly roaring in the ratings at the moment, it might be the best thing to go with a new champion.

This immediately eliminates Rollins and Reigns from contention. That would leave it between Owens and Big Cass. While Big Cass is over and something fresh, I don't think he's the sort of guy that is going to benefit from being exposed in that position, and while he shouldn't be beat, he really should be going after the US Title before he wins Big Red.

That means Kevin Owens winning the Universal Title might be best for business. If people don't like his look or whatever, is business really going to be that badly averted? He's already signed and working in high profile matches and stories. He's already beaten John Cena. If business were roaring, I'd probably be against it, but in times where you have these NBC masters, maybe Kevin Owens is worth a damn shot?

You have him win the Uni Title on RAW. He can't pin Cass and he can't pin Reigns for this scenario to work -- therefore he has to pin Rollins. Nay. He makes Rollins tap-out. That's how you crown a new star. Owens wins the Universal Title and immediately as RAW goes off the air, Zayn starts beef with Seth Rollins for tapping out and making his arch-nemesis the Universal Champion.

Owens shows up on RAW, Stephanie asks why he isn't wearing a suit and Owens says that he's been kissing McMahon ass to get this opportunity and now that he's done it, he doesn't need to kiss ass anymore. He shoots on the belt design (because that will get a pop) and the only reason this is worth something is because he's going to make this the most hotly contested prize in wrestling. He's proven he can beat anybody and now that he's got this to put better food on the table for his kids, he ain't droppin' it to nobody.

Cue Roman Reigns who basically says something like "You can't beat me, fat boy." First challenger. Both are super-confident. Owens is automatically babied by going against Reigns. Stephanie officially endorses Reigns as the champion RAW needs. Owens maybe even starts leaving the belt at home because he doesn't need physical possessions to prove he is the champion, and his kids like playing with it.

Owens beats Reigns at Clash of Champions, because Reigns is still in penance mode. Owens gets the pin with either the Frog Splash or the Swanton Bomb -- whichever he prefers to use. They probably fight again in Hell in a Cell, because that's how WWE works. Owens wins again. Reigns is the crazy one who takes the bump -- provided he's willing -- to earn further respect back from Vince or whatever bullshit. Owens teases like he is going to jump off after him, but then just climbs down, because that would be insane.

In a dramatic turn of events, Kevin Owens starts receiving weird messages in the mail addressed to his freakin' kids. They say things like "Your daddy is a bad man." Owens immediately suspects Sami Zayn. They have personal beef after all. Zayn says that Owens is nuts. He hates his guts, but those kids are like his niece and nephew, he could never hurt them. "You're a piece of crap, Sami! I know it's you!" Owens challenges Zayn to a match at Survivor Series, then when he taps out he won't have any more excuses other than to accept that Owens is the better man and he can stop this damn bullshit.

Owens and Zayn tear it up, with Zayn maintaining that he didn't send the letters. Owens gets Zayn in the Crossface, and actually tears up as he is pulling back on Sami Zayn with the Crossface, who passes out but doesn't tap. Owens doesn't have his closure because Zayn didn't tap-out. He's infuriated, but then a voice plays over the arena. It's distorted using some sort of device.
"You really think that Sami Zayn was the one who sent your children those letters? You really are a stupid idiot." Jericho then hits a Codebreaker on Owens to close Survivor Series.
