10 Wrestlers Whose Stock Has Risen The Most Since WWE WrestleMania 37

1. Kevin Owens

There's a reason why Kevin Owens is rather smiley these days.

If recent reports are to be believed, then KO leads the line as WWE's choice to face a returning Steve Austin at this year's WrestleMania. That, assuming it happens, will be 'Stone Cold's' first match since 2003. What a moment that'd be for a lifelong fan like Owens.

It's certainly a step up from working chapter 3,462 of his never-ending on/off feud with Sami Zayn. It's even a step up from bantering away on the grand stage with Logan Paul. This is 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's return match; that, in WWE circles, is the 'Holy Grail', and it's never something that should be taken lightly.

KO hitting a Stunner on Austin at Wrestle-freakin-Mania would be a timeless occasion for him. Here's a dude who once had a rocky relationship with Vince McMahon, and looked like he might be on the outs just last year. Now, he has a big fat contract and could work an idol at 'Mania.

Wow.
