WWE Beast In The East: 10 Awesome Moments
3. Kevin Owens Shows Why He's The Best Heel In WWE
Is there a better heel in pro wrestling right now than Kevin Owens? Imagine even 3 years ago people saying that Kevin Steen from Ring Of Honor would be lighting up WWE as one of the best villains on the entire roster? People would have giggled at the thought, because the man doesn't really fit the script as far as top stars in McMahon land go.
During his match against Finn Balor in Japan, Owens exhibited exactly why so many folks are high on him right now, inside and out of WWE. Subtle touches aplenty outlined his stunning heel performance, such as running full pelt off the ropes, as though he was going to nail Balor with a low Dropkick, right before slapping on a Chinlock and remarking that he 'hates this stupid country'.
Adding to that, on his walk to the ring Owens noticed a group of fans in the front row decked out in John Cena merchandise. Getting in their faces, the wrestler later directed an extra special 'You Can't See Me' gesture at them whilst performing Cena's patented 'Five Knuckle Shuffle' move. That's the kind of heel WWE has been screaming out for, for a long time.
