7. Kevin Owens v. John Cena

Kevin Owens had an outstanding WWE debut, immediately going after John Cena. He answered Cena’s US Championship Open Challenge while still the NXT Champion. Owens would then gain a surprise victory over Cena at the Elimination Chamber PPV.

This feud spoke volumes for NXT; that they were a developmental promotion to be taken seriously and Owens was the best choice to do this with. Owens has been on fire since then, eventually transitioning to the main roster full time and then becoming Intercontinental Champion. Owens certainly has a bright future ahead of him, and fans will remember his strong debut.
