Is this feud that likely? Not sure. It's tough to predict when a NXT guy is going to get called up to the main roster, but if WWE is smart then Owens won't be in NXT for too long. What WWE has to realize is they need strong heels because right now the roster is loaded with babyfaces. Due to his ability to talk as well as his skill in the ring, Owens is somebody that should be vaulted to the main roster within the next six months. Why wait? He's a polished performer that knows how to play off of the fans whether he's a heel or face and he will always find a way to make a match entertaining. We all know that WWE always wants to book John Cena strong, which is fine. He is their superhero-like performer and he's always going to be protected whether people like it or not. Cena needs a rivalry that comes off as personal or with an edge to it because too many of his rivalries are the same. Wyatt cost him the WWE Title against Orton in January, so Cena feuded with him. Rollins cost Cena the WWE Title against Lesnar in September, so Cena feuded with him. What Owens can do for Cena is give him somebody that can talk back to Cena, that can stand up to him and beat him up. It's the way the Wyatt/Cena feud should have went, but that was an overbooked mess by the end of it. If Owens debuts, goes after Cena right away and wins a match against him relatively clean at the start of their rivalry, he will be treated like a major star. It's a stretch for Cena to lose to anybody in a "relatively clean" way, but that has to change too. Superman can't win 'em all.
