2: Kevin Owens needs to beat Seth Rollins
I’ll be honest. As entertaining as the Jericho and Owens being best friends storyline has been, it has made Owens look like a weak champion who’s afraid of Seth Rollins.
Where is the smack-talking badass who’ll fight anyone to feed his family? Owens will be a great babyface someday when the time is right but for now, he needs a big win to cement his position as Universal Champion, preferably clean.
There is no doubt that Owens and Rollins are two of the best performers in the WWE right now or that they’ll tear the house down at Hell In A Cell – it’s just that Kevin Owens needs to be portrayed as a big deal, because he is one as the top heel on Monday Night Raw. WWE has had a bad habit in recent years to make their heel champions look like cowards and its high time they stop with this age old adage – just look at Samoa Joe in NXT and the success he’s had.
Owens needs a huge win at Hell In A Cell to cement himself as the face of Raw. Period.
