10 NXT Stars Who Could Feature In The 2015 Royal Rumble
2. Kevin Owens
This man has been part of the active NXT roster for a little over a month, yet he has already inserted himself into the main event by setting his sights on long-time friend and NXT Champion Sami Zayn. Kevin Owens would be the quickest NXT Superstar in history to get a taste of the main roster if he shows up this Sunday. Its not out of the realm of possibility though. As I mentioned, Owens is currently in the middle of a heated rivalry with the NXT Champion. These two have a long history that actually connects them to Philadelphia, the site of this years Royal Rumble. Both Owens and Zayn started their careers in Canada. Their first opportunity to wrestle in the United States came in 2004 both 20 years-old for Combat Zone Wrestling, based in South Philadelphia at the old ECW Arena. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nfA02F-xho Do you have any idea what kind of reaction Owens would receive from that crowd? It would be tremendous. However, I can only justify his inclusion in The Royal Rumble if the next man is involved
