When you look through the list of participants in the most recent edition of the King of the Ring tournament, there is one name that stands out of the pack by a pretty fair margin. This man is Kevin Owens, someone who's being groomed for the big Stone Cold spot.

Stone Cold Steve Austin's career skyrocketed after he won the King of the Ring tournament. Because there are so many similarities between the two men, could Kevin Owens' push begin with a King of the Ring victory too?

Drew McIntyre and Ricochet are the only two other men in the field of 16 that seem like they have a chance of wining the whole thing. The rest just seem like names who've been added to the list to fill up a specific spot.

Could Kevin Owens cut a Stone Cold-like promo following his win too? He certainly does have the ability!
