John Cena Vs. Kevin Owens & Bray Wyatt Vs. Roman Reigns At Battleground 2015

When the feud between Kevin Owens and John Cena started, Kevin Owens was the NXT Champion and John Cena was the United States Champion. But it wasn't about titles. And the feud felt like it was above titles. It was the top guy of NXT at the time going against the top guy of the WWE for a decade. Owens picked up the first win. Cena got the second, although Owens still remained looking strong.

That brings us to the third match. This time, the United States Championship is on the line. Kevin Owens, moreover, is no longer NXT Champion. I do feel this feud is now less impressive. It isn't really because Owens lost his title and now wants John Cena's midcard title. The development has just been mediocre in recent weeks between these two. Owens is starting to feel like a midcarder. Cesaro has been elevated more in recent weeks than Owens. Even Rusev looked impressive in how he almost beat Cena this week. With the WWE making all these guys look impressive like that, Owens is left looking like a guy that walks away from matches, screws other guys that look like they can beat Cena, and has not really been that threat to Cena in recent weeks that he appeared to be when he first beat Cena cleanly.

Should Owens win the title? There was a time I believed Kevin Owens would be the perfect choice to take the title off Cena. He had the credibility. But the WWE has just not been great with him recently. I would say Cesaro deserves it more. Of course, you can have Owens win the title and drop it to Cesaro. I just feel it would be bigger if Cesaro beat Cena cleanly for the title. I do not think Owens should win the title. As far as what the WWE is likely to do this Sunday, I think they will have Cena retain. Momentum is on the side of Kevin Owens. That usually means the other guy wins.

The feud between Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt is another one that seemed so heated a few weeks ago. It seemed like it might get personal. Since then, the development has been poor. Most of this feud is now just Bray Wyatt ambushing Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns obviously turned the tables on Raw this week. It seems like a waste of Bray Wyatt's gimmick and potential. In other words, this is like most Bray Wyatt feuds.

Who wins? Bray Wyatt is simply there to put over Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns will win this feud. The question is whether this feud will go on beyond Battleground. If it does not, Reigns wins this Sunday and moves on to something else. If the feud is going to continue, you can image Bray Wyatt winning or some kind of indecisive finish, like both brawl their way to the back for a double countout. That should lead to some kind of gimmick match for Summerslam. Sounds good, but the WWE really needs to do a lot more to keep this feud interesting, if they extend it. Simply having Bray Wyatt distract Roman Reigns or ambush him is not intriguing anymore. I don't think the WWE can pull off an extended feud properly. I would rather the feud end this Sunday. Nevertheless, I would not be surprised to see an indecisive finish to prolong it.
