#2 Relatable character that not many performers get to portray
Kevin Owens is a very capable heel. For many, he was born to play the role of a villain in the wrestling industry. Over the years, he has proven his ability to manipulate the crowd and express his darker side.
However, we saw a glimpse of what he could do as a babyface when he became an honorary member of the New Day. 'Big O' was fantastic in his new role and it was a shame that they had to end it so quickly due to his scheduled match against Kofi.

Now, however, he is once again a babyface with a character that is relatable to the fans. The added edge to his gimmick has also given him some anti-hero traits, which is helping him considerably.
As Big O, he was just a fun-loving personality but with his current gimmick, he is the voice of the voiceless who is picking a fight with the biggest baddie in the company.
Not many have been given such an arc in the past (save Roman Reigns), with only the biggest star being allowed to go in such a direction.
