Kevin Owens is such a highlight of WWE's roster these days, it's easy to remember that he only signed for NXT a little over two years ago. The Canadian has immediately proven his indie credentials to become one of the most entertaining superstars of the new era, and currently sits atop the Raw brand as reigning Universal Champion.

It's been a rollercoaster couple of years for Owens, as he became only the second wrestler in WWE history to feature on every PPV in his debut year (after The Undertaker). KO has proven himself not only a hit with casual fans as a detestable (yet infinitely entertaining) heel, but also an internet darling due to his stellar in-ring ability.

Now that Owens is champion, it seems an appropriate time to reflect on the many highlights of his relatively short WWE career. From title wins to match of the year candidates, it's been a mightily impressive start for one of the best all-rounders the promotion has ever seen.

10. His NXT Debut

Owens' NXT debut came at TakeOver: R Evolution, defeating CJ Parker in short order to open the show. The match was notable for a legitimate broken nose suffered by KO, after a stiff palm strike from his opponent, but a more memorable appearance was to follow later in the night.

The debutant reappeared after the night's main event, which saw Sami Zayn finally capture the NXT Championship from Neville in a fantastic bout. Owens made his way down to the ring to congratulate his long time friend and rival (the pair having teamed and clashed numerous times in Ring Of Honor), only to jump the new champ and powerbomb him on the apron.

This immediately portrayed KO as a major threat, and also established a key trait of his persona: intense, violent jealousy. A strong start, for sure.
