#2 Kevin Owens
I think that there's something akin to Dusty Rhodes in Kevin Owens. Because every WWE Superstar looks so larger-than-life, Kevin Owens stands out as the anomaly, the everyday man that the audience can connect with. It also helps that the man is a natural on the microphone and pretty good in the ring too!
While I may be jumping the gun, if there's anyone being groomed for the Seth Rollins spot at the moment, it is Kevin Owens, based on how he's being pushed. I mean he was pretty much the face of Starrcade, kick staring the show with Ric Flair and then ending the show with a slug-fest against Bobby Lashley. The crowd listens to the man when he talks!
In fact, his NXT appearance went down well too and that is a very tough crowd to please. I mean one had high expectations like John Morrison, and for Owens to arrive and not get booed, it was a massive feat.
