5 Directions for Kevin Owens on the Road To WrestleMania 37

#4. Kevin Owens once again turns heel

Will Kevin Owens return to his old self?

Kevin Owens is excellent as a babyface, however, his initial heel run on the main roster is something that is yet to be surpassed by any Superstar who makes the jump from NXT. In his first feud on the main roster, KO engaged with John Cena and would also go on to beat the United States Champion at that time.

It was during his heel run when Kevin Owens won the WWE Universal Title, powerbombed Machine Gun Kelly on RAW, and the WWE Universe was so impressed that they pushed for a match between KO and Brock Lesnar. However, that match never happened and instead, Owens went on to lose his Universal Title to Goldberg.

Having failed to win the Universal Championship from Roman Reigns after a few attempts, this could be the perfect opportunity for WWE to turn Kevin Owens heel once again. This will not only benefit KO but will also provide SmackDown with another top heel on the Road To WrestleMania 37.
