Kevin Owens WWE Rumors: 3 Potential Long-Term Feuds For Former NXT Champion [VIDEO]

Tags: Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens is currently mixing it up with Cesaro and had a Feud of the Year candidate with John Cena, but there are plenty of other Superstars on the roster he could have a great rivalry with.

Owens has changed the landscape of the WWE since bursting on the scene earlier this year and taking aim at the No. 1 face of the franchise.

The former NXT Champion made waves by defeating the Cenation leader in his debut match at Elimination Chamber in May and then fell to the reigning United States Champion at Money in the Bank in June and in their rubber match at Battleground last month.

Owens has since turned his attention to the Swiss Superman, but here are three other Superstars that Owens could potentially feud with down the line.

3) Randy Orton

While The Viper has grown stale to many WWE Universe supporters, he's still the type of veteran that could continue to give Owens the type of rub he needs this early in his WWE career.

As Owens proved in his feud with Cena, just because he's new to the WWE doesn't mean he can't help carry a long-term feud with a big name due to the 15-year journey it took him to get to the No. 1 wrestling promotion in the world.

If Owens engaged in a three-match series with Orton similar to Cena, his star could continue to rise in the organization.

Plus, with Orton not holding one of the major titles and being a smidgen below Cena on the WWE totem pole, Owens could conceivably beat The Apex Predator two out of the three bouts.

2) Roman Reigns

The WWE looked to push the Leader of the Roman Empire to the moon earlier this year, but after he won the Royal Rumble Match and failed to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31 due to Seth Rollins, he hasn't been involved in the championship scene.

Vince McMahon has been very high on Reigns and he also gave Owens strong booking to start his career, so it would make sense for these unstoppable forces to collide in a rivalry.

Owens could channel the energy he used on Cena, where he said he hated what Cena was for constantly being pushed down everyone's throats, and apply it to Reigns, who has received backing from the creative team that parallels Cena.

1) Brock Lesnar

Owens has already admitted that he is clamoring for a feud with The Beast and the potential of these two titans clashing in the squared circle is sure to make most members of the WWE Universe excited.

Lesnar has torn through the WWE over the last few years since returning from UFC, knocking off such stars as Triple H, CM Punk, The Undertaker (ending The Streak) and Cena while Owens is off to one of the best starts to a career in the history of the WWE.

Lesnar knows a thing or two about fast starts as he was booked to win the King of the Ring as a rookie in 2002 and then topped Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, one of the biggest names in WWE history, two months later at SummerSlam to capture his first ever World Championship.

Owens told The Gorilla Position Podcast last week that he was hoping to face Lesnar down the line.

"I think there's only one answer for me right now, and it is Brock Lesnar," Owens told the show, according to MTV UK. "I think a lot of people want to see it."

Owens said he was awed by watching Lesnar when he first came to the WWE and he could use that as motivation for his feud to talk down The Beast about how he grew out of adoring him and now wants to destroy him.

Lesnar vs. Owens would be a fun feud not only for the physicality both men can dish out, but due to the sheer brilliance that Owens vs. Paul Heyman on the microphone would bring with it.
