4. Kevin Owens vs John Cena Was A MOTY Candidate, And Kevin Owens Is A Star

What started as a failed John Cena US Title Open Challenge, quickly became a Match of The Year Contender between John Cena, who is quickly approaching living legend status, and the Main Roster Debuting NXT Champion...Kevin Owens. Subsequently, Kevin Owens showed exactly what he is about, and capable of with a shocking CLEAN victory over John Cena in his first match. To put how big that is in perspective, even CM Punk never defeated John Cena without some type of controversy. As the near falls piled up, Owens made believers out of skeptics who believed he never could make it to this level of the game. This is a man who can brawl, talk, fly, and break out Holy S*** power moves at a moment's notice. John Cena fans were shown after the match in the crowd with shocked faces that couldn't quite process what they just saw. However, John Cena proved his worth for the millionth time. By putting over Kevin Owens to an almost unheard of degree in his first match, he now has a new opponent as soon as next month at Money in The Bank, and can claim some credit for once again, solidifying the next era of stars. As Cena dominated each open challenge, JBL would say "One day his luck will run out." Well, JBL had to be right at least once in saying that, and this was the perfect time. Kevin Owens is the future.
