What if WWE goes back to TV-14?

4. A big push for Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens would benefit for his gift for gab and ability to thrive in violent situations.

Not unlike Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens is a talent with a lot of experience wrestling in grittier environments than today’s WWE. Moreover, he is on the shortlist of WWE’s best talkers. Put this man in an atmosphere where he’s free to really cut loose on promos and not have to stay family friendly and he could be something really special on the mic.

Additionally, when we look back at Owens’s best moments under the WWE banner to date, they’re instances like the Festival of Friendship, assaulting Mr. McMahon, and his original NXT turn on Sami Zayn.

These are the kind of violent moments we don’t get much in the PG era that would feel much more at home, and play directly to Owens’s strengths, in a TV-14 product. Given these opportunities to shine, we could readily see Owens rise back up from the mid-card cluster to arrive as a more permanent main event fixture.
