5 WWE Superstars who could be the next CM Punk-type anti-hero character

#4 Kevin Owens could be WWE's next anti-hero

Kevin Owens

For a while, it seemed that Kevin Owens was being set up as WWE’s next anti-hero character. His personality fits with the character of an anti-hero, and to go with that, he has his own history with the McMahon family.

His attack on Vince McMahon will go down as one of the most unexpected moments in recent WWE history. KO has had several problems with Shane McMahon and has been involved in multiple feuds with him. Not to mention that his first championship run on the main roster was due to his relationship with Triple H.

Another sign that he was being set up for the role was that he started using Stone Cold's Stunner as his finishing move.

Kevin Owens has a similar background as CM Punk as they were both huge stars on the independent scene and were not WWE-made stars. Owens is also in a spot much like Punk was before his final run at the top. Both men were former WWE champions and got lost in the shuffle as more and more people joined the company.

Kevin Owens is a draw and his personality stays the same as a heel or as a face, which is why fans like him so much.

Overall, given the opportunity, Owens’ character could really take the company to the next level if he was to be put in more of an antihero main event spot.
