#1 Flesh out Owens' character more as we move ahead

Austin's character worked to perfection because of one major factor: he represented the everyday worker who was tired of his boss' shtick and wanted to get back at him. A worker in real life couldn't do the same without getting arrested. Watching someone else being able to do these things was bound to get fans excited.

Owens' character should mimic Austin's, but with a slight addition. WWE can promote him as an everyday worker who wants a piece of his evil boss, but what if the company adds another layer to it?

A couple of babyface promos saw Owens hanging out with his son earlier this year. Bring back this side of Owens, and position him as someone who is trying to earn his bread to feed his family, and would go to any lengths to make sure that his children get the best food, clothing, and education.

This hybrid of Dusty Rhodes and Stone Cold could result in an incredibly unique character which might hep Owens become one of the very best in the coming years.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
