The Prizefighter Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens defeated John Cena clean as a whistle in his very first night in WWE. He was one of the first superstars to appear on the main roster while holding a NXT Championship. Owens won his first championship just three months into his main roster career, and has not looked back since.

Kevin Owens won the Universal Championship after Finn Balor vacated the title. He held the title for over six months before losing it to Goldberg! He has won the United States and Intercontinental Championship several times and is one tag-team championship away from becoming a Grand Slam Champion in WWE.

Kevin Owens has found great success on the main roster unlike his best friend Sami Zayn, who is yet to win a single championship on the main roster.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn should team up and win the tag-titles. Owens completes his Grand Slam while Zayn wins his first title alongside his "best friend"!
