Everything Kevin Owens does has meaning. That's a simple concept, but one so few fail to truly grasp. Owens does it expertly, and he was right up for putting on a show at Payback. After defeating Sami Zayn, he demanded that Byron Saxton enter the ring for an impromptu interview.

The announcer obliged, and Owens then hilariously told him which questions to ask him. Eagle-eyed viewers will have noticed that the heel offered to hold the ropes open for Byron, before coolly walking away without glancing back. Nuances such as this add so much to the overall package, but it also doesn't hurt that Owens is a superb talker.

Whether on the live mic or when providing guest commentary on The Miz vs. Cesaro, KO was fantastic entertainment. He really turned the show on its head, taking over and being so obnoxious that the other members of the announce team genuinely didn't seem like they had any worthwhile responses.
