Kevin Owens has played many characters over the short span of his WWE main roster career and it's safe to say the best of them all was how he made his debut back in 2015. Owens was an instant star in WWE, being portrayed as an evil equivalent to John Cena.

Holding the NXT Championship, Owens won his debut match against then US Champion John Cena and found himself becoming the top heel on the main roster in a few short weeks since his debut. He was a star right out of the gate and solidified even more with a Universal title win in 2016.

Owens is one of the best talkers in the business and a tremendous worker. What lessened him physically, he more than made up for by the way he carries himself. Owens has been the best Universal Champion out of the short list of men who have held that title but he wasn't doing much prior to his injury earlier this year.

The former Universal Champion was regularly jobbing to the likes of Strowman and Lashley on RAW, and when it looked like he was on the verge of doing something meaningful (when he quit WWE) - the plans were immediately dropped and he returned to WWE programming the next week.

Owens has to make a statement upon his return and immediately be inserted into the main event. Due to the lack of top-tier stars on the red brand right now, WWE should look at capitalizing on Owens' talent and star power as much as possible. Avenging his treatment prior to the injury by costing Strowman his Royal Rumble title match should do the trick - followed by besting The Monster in an extended feud.
