3 Things WWE Could Do With Kevin Owens

As entertaining as Owens is, he has not been used to the best of his abilities since making the move from SmackDown to RAW back in April. Since then, he has mostly feuded with Braun Strowman and was mostly used to put over the 'Monster Among Men'.As seen on last week's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, a frustrated Kevin Owens announced that he was quitting.

Now, of course, Kevin hasn't actually quit WWE, and this is the beginning of a new angle for him. So the big question is, what happens next?

And now with partner and best friend Sami Zayn on the shelf for the rest of the year, KO has even less options on RAW. So what should WWE do with him next? Well, here are, in my opinion, the best three options.

#3 Becoming a Paul Heyman guy

A dream team

For the foreseeable future, Brock Lesnar is finished with WWE. While no one seems to be missing him yet, someone who many are already missing is his agent, Paul Heyman.

Apparently, WWE are interested in keeping Heyman around on TV, and I can't think of a better way to do so then to give him a new client, and who better on the current roster than Kevin Owens?

I think Kevin and Paul would play very well off of each other, and provide many excellent and hysterical promos together. And while Paul hasn't always struck gold with clients, anytime he has been associated with someone who is already a former World Champion, has always worked out really well for that superstar.

There were actually some rumors last week that this is a partnership that could have possibly happened, but it has since been disputed as having never been planned at any point.

#2 Returning To SmackDown

Back to the main event scene

Before Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn made the jump to RAW on the post-WrestleMania RAW, they were main event players on SmackDown.

Sure, neither had that many WWE Championship matches, but between September 2017 and WrestleMania, Kevin and Sami were involved in SmackDown's biggest angle, with Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan.

As per stipulation of their WrestleMania tag team match, they would be 'fired' following their loss, and head over to RAW. The partnership came to an end when Sami suffered an injury and will be out of action for the remainder of the year. Kevin on the other hand, was only used to put Braun Strowman over for the past few months.

If Kevin was to return to SmackDown, he would surely have better options. He could reignite his feud with Daniel Bryan, with a great series of one-on-one matches, and then move onto a WWE Championship feud with AJ Styles, as well as other potential top line feuds with the like of Jeff Hardy and others.

#1 Participate in a WWE Angle on the independent scene

Would be interesting

This one would likely never happen, but it is a cool thought.

Before arriving in WWE back in 2015, Kevin Owens had been one of the best independent wrestlers in the world, for quite some time. And now today, thanks to Triple H's forward and outside of the box thinking, WWE has a pretty good relationship with several independent wrestling companies, particularly in the UK.

While Kevin is on his absence from WWE TV, I think they should have him appear at some independent shows, such as EVOLVE, Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore and some in the UK and Europe for the companies WWE has worked with for NXT UK, such as Insane Championship Wrestling and Over The Top Wrestling, and more.

Not only will this give all these companies more publicity and strengthen their relationship with WWE. From here, I think they should book Kevin appearing at these events in a shoot-type role, having all of his promos being shoots and/or worked shoots.

It would be refreshing seeing him share his grievances over how he has been portrayed since making the move to RAW, and perhaps have a feud with the WWE COO himself, Triple H, with a match to conclude the feud at WrestleMania 35.
