WWE NXT: Analyzing Main Roster Potential of 14 Superstars and Divas

Kevin Owens

Saving the champ for last.

Kevin Owens has been awesome since debuting at NXT TakeOver: R Evolution in December. Since his opening match with CJ Parker, the former Ring of Honor star has not disappointed.

Owens is a fantastic speaker and terrific in-ring psychologist. He knows how to work a great match and construct it to fit his character perfectly. If you want to see an example of that, go watch his match against Sami Zayn from NXT Rival.

Just two months into his WWE career, Owens already owns gold. Management is clearly high on him and see big things in his future. This NXT Championship reign is going to be dominant and his work with Zayn in this continuing feud for the belt is going to be amazing.

Ideally, when Owens gets to the main roster, he’s going to be the monster heel that he has played at WWE NXT. His charisma and in-ring skills will get him there. The one roadblock, like with other NXT stars, is Vincent Kennedy McMahon. If he doesn’t like Owens’s body, he won’t give him a proper push. It sounds ridiculous because of how talented Owens is, but McMahon has the final say. Hopefully he’ll make the correct call.

Verdict: Main Event Heel
