Despite being so talented and agile between the ropes, one of the biggest reasons why Kevin Owens had such a short NXT run was John Cena.

While this might come as a surprise to many, the Cenation Leader shares a lot of adulation in his heart for KO and personally pitched the idea of bringing him to the main roster to Vince McMahon.

There's no denying that the former Universal Champion possesses all the credentials in the world to work as a vicious heel against a crowd favorite in John Cena.

Considering that the 16-time World Champion enjoyed a phenomenal feud with an anti-hero in CM Punk, his feud with Kevin Owens legitimately solidified the latter's WWE career and catapulted NXT as a legitimate brand.

Owens' character work came across as very authentic and that led Vince McMahon to instantly push the envelope with him and make him the next big thing on Monday Night Raw.
