It's hardly breaking news, but Kevin Owens is simply a sheer joy to watch on WWE television and pay-per-view. Almost everything the man does just feels right for his character, one which is as instantly brash as it is enjoyable. It's fair to say that his level of interaction with the fans and overall charisma raised his Intercontinental Title bout against Dolph Ziggler higher than it perhaps threatened pre-match. Throughout their scrap, Owens offered up several moments of verbal goodness. Not only did he shout insults at his opponent, he also crucially interacted with fans around ringside. Maybe he could drop the shenanigans with Michael Cole, because it's not really going anywhere, but aside from that his overall act is pretty damn flawless. There was a period when WWE seemed determined to stop their performers from reacting to things the fans were shouting or saying to them. It's a good thing those limitations don't appear to have been put on Owens, because it's an important part of his matches. It's a unique characteristic, one which serves KO well.
