Predicting The Next 10 Alignment Changes In WWE
5. Kevin Owens
ACKNOWLEDGE HIM!
OK, we know that catchphrase belongs to another wrestler. But still, can we all take a minute to acknowledge just how damn good Kevin Owens is at his job?
After single-handedly building up his 'Mania feud against none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin, we were worried that Owens would face a swift fall down the WWE ladder. And when his current storyline against Ezekiel/Elias started, we thought our fears had been confirmed.
However, KO's work has been nothing short of exceptional in this entire feud. Yes, the story has been utter nonsense, but Owens has been at his manic, scenery-chewing, scene-stealing best throughout.
Whether flipping out over a lie detector test or standing on the commentary table to harangue the announcers for going along with "Ezekiel", Owens has been absolutely magnetic in his current role. To the point that it's genuinely difficult not to cheer for him.
With Elias apparently soon to come back, we can see this feud inciting a double-turn where a babyface Owens takes revenge against a heel Elias for making him look like a chump. Elias was always at his best as a smarmy troubador, and Owens is too damn entertaining for the fans not to cheer him.
