If you're a fan of professional wrestling in general, not just WWE, chances are, you've followed Kevin Owens prior to his WWE or NXT debut. Owens is someone who’s grinded it out for many years before being signed to a WWE contract. With that said, I can't think of one reason why K.O. shouldn't win the title.
It's obvious that he's not the overall favorite to win the match, but when it's all said and done, Kevin Owens is perfectly capable of carrying the load as a top level champion, in the top wrestling company in the world. His ring work is sound and he's capable of working with anyone.
He's unorthodox, sure, but it's 2016, who's not these days? The odds are not necessarily in his favor, but then again, we're talking about Kevin Owens; the odds have always been against him. WWE may very well reward him with for his effort with a run with the title, and that folks, is best for business.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
