4. Kevin Owens should move to NXT

With the recent round of cuts by the WWE to the NXT roster, Tuesday nights could really use another star from the main roster to keep things exciting. Last year, Kevin Owens stated his desire to return to NXT, but nothing came to fruition and he remained on SmackDown. At this point, it seems like the next best move for Kevin Owens would be to return to where he initially made his mark in WWE.

Kevin Owens has been tied to NXT throughout his career in WWE, no matter what show he was on. Long before Karrion Kross, Kevin Owens was the NXT Champion splitting time between the main roster and the black and gold brand. Back in 2019, Triple H tried recruiting Owens to NXT before Survivor Series but he refused, making his surprise return to NXT TakeOver: War Games 2019 the night before even more epic:

As the future of NXT remains cloudy given recent decisions, having Owens back in NXT would be great for everyone involved. It would give him some fresh opponents and the opportunity to help newer, up-and-coming talent improve in the ring. Also, Owens being a fan favorite in WWE would definitely get more eyes on the show on Tuesday nights.

Seems like now more than ever, NXT could use a boost, and Kevin Owens would be exactly that for the black and gold brand.
