See, Kevin Owens has been asked to play a babyface on screen. For the role that he's been asked to perform, I believe that he's doing a terrific job. But there's something about him that just screams 'heel'. Somehow, it feels like the man has been miscast and terribly so.
I wonder what Kevin Owens can do to make us forget that he used to be a mean and devious heel once upon a time. Maybe change up his attire or his look in a certain way. Right now, Kevin Owens looks and wrestles the same, minus the Stone Cold Stunner, so it's difficult to buy into the idea of him as a babyface.

Maybe he needs to be a smart babyface, with witty lines, like The Rock was. He certainly cannot be the vanilla babyface he currently is.
