12 Current WWE Stars Who Could Be Legends Reborn

12. Kevin Owens - CM Punk

The NXT champion has had an immense impact in a short amount of time since joining WWE€™s developmental program. Owens arrived to much hype and in his very first onscreen appearance was already thrust into the main event angle and made a championship contender. K.O. is quite similar to the man who called himself The Voice Of The Voiceless, in that he built a tremendous following on the indie scene before making the jump to the big leagues, and €“ while yes, he has quite a few outstanding matches under his belt €“ for Owens, like Punk, it€™s all about the character work. Both men have done the majority of their best work on the heel side of things, excelling at drawing legitimate heat, but each has a propensity for garnering grassroots fan support that turn them into something of a folksy, anti-hero to the people. In addition, CM Punk was also an unlikely WWE superstar €“ a man who didn€™t fit the typical company mold €“ but forged an incredibly successful career for himself through sheer talent and determination, and Owens looks poised to do the same.
