Owens' electric start translates through his career

Kevin Owens made his main roster debut on May 18th, 2015 on an episode of RAW, responding to John Cena’s United States Championship open challenge.

However, instead of competing in the match, he attacked John Cena and stomped on the United States Championship in an ultimate show of disrespect.

At Elimination Chamber 2015, Owens shocked the world when he defeated John Cena in his first official match since debuting on the main roster.

Following this massive victory, Owens went on to become a two-time Intercontinental Champion, a three-time United States Champion, and the second-ever Universal Champion in history.

Currently, Owens is in a feud with Shane McMahon which shows the company has a lot of faith in him.
