15 WWE Stars Who Will Make An Impact In 2016

8. Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens has been on the main WWE roster for about half a year now and he's already left his mark in a tremendous fashion. Despite losing the rivalry in the long run, Owens defeated John Cena cleanly in his debut match, and would go on to have one of the best matches at SummerSlam against Cesaro, before capturing his first Intercontinental Championship against Ryback at Night of Champions. Imagine what the man could do given a whole year to run wild! We're all excited to see just what Owens' first match at WrestleMania has in store for him in April, and if the rumours are anything to go by, then you shouldn't rule out the possibility of a dream match between Owens and the Beast Incarnate himself, Brock Lesnar. If you want to give Kevin Owens a memorable debut on the grandest stage of them all, then a great showing against someone as destructive and volatile as Brock Lesnar, win or lose, is absolutely the best way to go. Owens may not be loved in the production room, but the creative team has to have realised by now that Fight Owens Fight is money right in their pockets, so giving this guy a huge 2016 shouldn't be out of the question. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll see the rivalry between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens reignited on a much bigger platform like the main roster, with the stakes raised even higher with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line. It may seem like a pipe dream right now, but believe me, stranger things have happened.
