11 WWE Superstars Who Could Become Commentators

6. Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens NXT commentary

He's only just been classified as a main roster WWE talent - in fact, he's currently pulling double duty with NXT - but Kevin Owens has quickly gone about showing a new audience just exactly what he's all about both in and out of the ring.

The history of great WWE commentators has been littered with a host of natural heels who can bring a legitimacy and reasoning to the most dastardly of heel acts that are happening. Guys like Bobby Heenan, Jesse Ventura and Jerry Lawler in his prime all managed to accurately and informatively comment on the action unfurling in front of them yet would be able to rationalise the cruel acts of any pesky heels.

The ability to do this is something that Corey Graves is doing so well in NXT and is something that Kevin Owens would be a great fit for. His character at the moment, for example, is perfectly justifying his own heinous actions.

Owens' in-ring career has plenty of gas left in the tank, but he would make for an excellent addition to any broadcast team.
