#2 Owens will change fans’ perception of him with a win
Trending
When Owens was the Universal champion, a number of fans questioned his run as champion.
He was a prizefighter who often ran away from a fight because he could, and because he had Chris Jericho taking a beating on his behalf time and time again. Maybe his run as US champion could be different, but his character has burned bridges and his closest ally is now gone.
This is where Owens could show his worth by actively defending the title and not backing down from fights. And he can still stoop to any level just to hold on to the championship.
As ‘The Face of America,' it becomes important to show fans you will do anything to protect them, even if that means cheating, breaking the rules and stealing! It has the potential of being very different now, and his run as United States champion could be a long and illustrious one as he outlasts his challengers.
