Kevin Owens is another one of those "indy darlings," who came to the WWE with an already established core group of followers. Owens came on board as a proven entertainer and a quality wrestler. For most of his career, Kevin has been the typical antagonist bad guy. However, he has always had great drawing power.
The current angle with Owens and Jericho being best friends is something that has been a tremendous success. The two fellow Canadians have worked exceptionally well off of one another. But, like all good things, this too must eventually come to an end. Once it does, what's next for the WWE Universal Champion? With the imminent return of Finn Bálor, one could only assume that the Demon King will be looking to reclaim the title which he never actually lost.
If in fact, Kevin Owens does see a face turn in 2017, it won't happen early on in the year. His turn will be one that is taken slow and methodical, likely at the end of the potential upcoming feud with Finn Bálor. With Owens, there's just so many different options for various angles and storylines. But in the end, a babyface Kevin Owens will give fans a new alternative to get behind.

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
