10 WWE Wrestlers Who Break The Corporate Mould

10. Kevin Owens

The former Kevin Steen was a wrestler that many Ring of Honor and Independent fans never expected to see in WWE, let alone as a genuine World Champion. A lot of things contributed to this, with the most notable being that he simply didn't fit the WWE Superstar image.

While Owens certainly isn't unfit, as his impressive in-ring bouts are full of energy and quick pacing, he doesn't have the most commonly preferred physique in the company. Although the industries obsession with beefy body types has dissipated in recent years, that doesn't change the fact that WWE has a bias for those with entirely athletic aesthetics. In a land of giants, Kevin Owens simply looks like an average guy.

This may be part of what makes Owens so fascinating, as he's one of the most ordinary-looking wrestlers in the promotion. However, his ability to perform death-defying bumps and incredible charisma on the mic makes him a fantastic presence on SmackDown and even brought him a healthy Universal Title reign.

He doesn't look like a prize-fighting brawler, but that's exactly how he acts, and despite his non-conventional look, it works.
