10 WWE Stars One Tweak Away From Perfection

The Tweak: Lean on his comedic timing more.

Why It'd Help: On the latest SmackDown, Kevin Owens showed off his dry humour by remarking that he wasn't going to get into a discussion about manhood with a guy (Shane McMahon) who once ran around in a group called the Mean Street Posse. Those in-the-know creased at KO's wit.

That wasn't the first time Owens has showed off his propensity for humour. Back when he was teaming with Chris Jericho, laughs were a weekly occurrence, and the same playful digs he aimed at Shane were thrown into early feuds against John Cena and Roman Reigns too.

When it suits, KO is f*cking hilarious.

WWE could do worse than letting him explore this more. It's been said that comedy has no place at the top of the card, but that's not strictly true. Jericho, for example, once had tears in fan eyes for using phrases like, "Ass Clown", and nobody took him less seriously during heated matches because of it. There's no reason why Owens couldn't do the same.
