Kevin Owens produced a huge pipe bomb last week on SmackDown Live, and followed it up with an excellent rip on McMahon at Extreme Rules, but how much further can it go? Beyond that, what can they do to keep capturing the attention of the WWE Universe? The answer to these questions will vary, but there are a few things that just seem to be common sense at this point.

In fact, with the obvious blueprints, WWE has created for Kevin Owens's face turn and him making it obvious that he is fighting for change in the WWE, one has to imagine that the company will milk this for all its worth. Interestingly enough, however, it seems to be worth a lot and has already generated a lot of renewed interest in the product.

With that being said, here are five things WWE must do with Kevin Owens after his epic babyface turn on SmackDown Live. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us what you believe WWE should do with Kevin Owens next.


#5 Get Sami Zayn involved

Where in the world is Sami Zayn? Where is WWE's top heel?

The guy that was dropping pipebombs every week and coming close to the top title multiple times. The current rumor is that WWE has nothing for him to do at the moment, and that's really sad to hear. Zayn was doing excellent as a slimy heel on Raw and to have nothing for him to do is ridiculous.

WWE needs to rectify that by injecting him into Kevin Owens's feud with Shane McMahon and let him join up with The Authority. At least that way, Sami Zayn can flourish as a top heel with The Authority and it adds another interesting layer to Owens versus Shane McMahon.

#4 Confront Vince McMahon

It's very surprising that WWE hasn't involved Vince McMahon in a storyline lately and while that might have to do with his age, doing a segment where Owens confronts McMahon needs to happen. It could also be a chance for WWE to play with Vince McMahon's character a bit.

No matter how WWE does this, they need to have McMahon and Owens argue over the current state of the product. Not only will that blur the lines between fiction and reality for the fans, but it also gives WWE a chance to really establish Owens as the next big thing. Owens could even stunner McMahon for good measure and pop the crowd.

In all honesty, WWE has a goldmine of possibilities for Kevin Owens right now and having an on-screen confrontation with WWE's Chairman is a great example of that. Beyond that, it's an example of how white-hot Owens is right now after his mini pipebomb and how big he will be for the product down the road.

#3 Tag with Roman Reigns

Shane McMahon and his crew have made it clear that they won't fight fair, which is exactly why Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens need to team up. This will also create an interesting dynamic between Roman Reigns and Kevin, which could result in one of them finally turning on each other.

This will also give WWE a chance to even the numbers between McMahon's regime and the babyfaces, which could result in others joining in later. At least this way, WWE can keep the central feud going and also have different layers to build upon further. It could even be what returns Smackdown Live to ratings glory.

In the end, WWE needs to put Reigns and Owens together for a while. Not only will it help both stars grow characterwise, but it also could leave the door open to some pretty interesting options later.

#2 Put him in the title picture

While some will argue that it's time for Roman Reigns to take his spot as WWE Champion, the case can also now be made for Kevin Owens as well. In fact, it could really be what finally establishes Owens as the company's biggest anti-hero, and that will be fun for the company to explore!

Whether Shane McMahon has the championship or not remains to be seen, but it's still going to have a ripple effect throughout the company. Think about it! With Owens as the top babyface and on SmackDown Live no less, what does that mean for Roman Reigns future?

If nothing else, this is a great chance for Reigns to finally have that heel turn his singles career has needed. Reigns can also eventually transition to a babyface again, which should be great for ratings.

#1 Drop another pipebomb

Let's be honest here.

Kevin Owens is that rare kind of over. The kind of over that is so organic and strong that it rivals that of The Yes Movement and Kofimania. WWE has finally succeeded in creating a rare sense of energy around Kevin Owen's character, but they have to be willing to go further than this

In fact, anything short of an all-out pipebomb on SmackDown Live would be a disappointment to the potential this storyline has. That's exactly why Owens needs to work together with Roman Reigns, take over the production truck and allow The Prizefighter to air his grievances with the company uninterrupted.

In the end, WWE is creating a firestorm here and it's going to benefit them the longer they push it. With that being said, however, WWE needs to start it off with another pipe bomb for the WWE Universe. In all honesty, the company needs to let Owens go out there uncensored and air his grievances. At least that way, it's honest, it's speaking on behalf of the fans and a way to get fans behind him.
