The pop for Kevin Owens' pop-up powerbomb that will defeat John Cena at Summerslam could feasibly cause the Barclays Center to implode. As much as Kevin Owens wants to be hated, there's absolutely no way to hate Kevin Owens when the indy guy in a t-shirt and boxing shorts is going to beat the reviled 15-time World Heavyweight Champion. What's better about Owens than his skill in the ring is the sea change he represents in WWE where Triple H has identified a fat Canadian guy (more than anyone else in WWE) as being emblematic of where WWE can head in the future. This one isn't in the "could happen" list, it's in the "will happen again" list and it won't be a moment too soon.
