Ranking every former NXT Champion's run on the main roster so far

#2 Kevin Owens

KO has shocked many in his success on the main roster

Kevin Owens came bursting into the NXT scene as a face on his first night, however turning heel the same night on Sami Zayn. KO quickly won NXT Championship from Zayn and continued to run roughshod over the NXT roster for his 143 days as NXT Champion.

When Kevin Owens debuted on the main roster, he answered John Cena's challenge by powerbombing him and making his presence known on the main roster. He quickly defeated Cena in his first main roster match and won the Intercontinental Championship twice in the same year.

However, KO's biggest moment on the main roster thus far came in August of 2016, when Triple H turned on Seth Rollins and aided KO in winning the Universal Champion.

Despite losing the Universal Championship to a transitional champion, Goldberg, which hurt his momentum, as well as heavily relying on Chris Jericho throughout his title reign, KO became the third NXT champion to win a world championship on the main roster.

After winning the United States Championship twice in 2017, KO came to Raw along with his "best friend", Sami Zayn. However, it never worked out for the pair as they both underwent surgeries in 2018 and were out for the remainder of the year. Both have had promos promoting their return in 2019, yet we will have to see whether that return will be accompanied by a push.
