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. It€™s 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 year€™s 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€
