Yes, I'm fully aware that Kevin Owens is gearing up to challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at the upcoming TLC pay-per-view, but that doesn't change the fact that KO has been criminally underused in 2020. The momentum of his babyface run was frustratingly halted by the coronavirus pandemic and his WrestleMania win over Seth Rollins has all but been forgotten, and a nothing summer feud with Aleister Black did nothing for either man. It has been an exasperating year, without doubt.

It is unlikely that Owens will dethrone Reigns at TLC but a committed stint in the main event scene is a must. WWE is crying out for a likeable megastar, for a potential crossover hero who appeals to a wide range of audiences while excelling in all aspects of professional wrestling. Kevin Owens ticks all of their boxes, yet WWE continues to get cold feet when pushing the guy.

2021 will more than likely see Owens continue to bounce around the shows, acting as a de facto gatekeeper and providing the most natural promos on any show. The former Universal Champion is worth so much more than that.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
