Counterpoint:
Kevin Owens is the spiritual successor to Steve Austin, and will be over as fuck if he eventually turns face.
He is the real "every man." He doesn't look like an athlete, he's not "larger than life," but he has a smart ass, sarcastic attitude. And it's the type of attitude that isn't typical for a bully, but the type of attitude that the smart ass who is used to being picked on has, so he says sarcastic shit dryly.
Plus he has a goofy best friend who he fights with, and another best friend who really isn't his friend.
People want Rollins vs HHH, but Owens vs HHH is so much more compelling.
There are just very few people on the roster who can connect to the people at a base level like KO can.
