Owens will battle to recapture the Intercontinental Championship on Sunday at Extreme Rules
Students of the WWE would know that some of the most revered Superstars in the history of the company are those who didn't fit the Vince McMahon archetype. Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bret Hart and a number of others are proof of who truly stays at the top of the food chain in the land of the giants.
Another name that could join the list is former Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens. The Canadian veteran wasn’t in Mr. McMahon’s good books initially, but with his irrepressible charisma and strong style, he’s made the Chairman a believer, according todailywrestlingnews.com.
So much so that Mr. McMahon is reportedly considering the silver-tongued prizefighter for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship picture. The long-overdue push is not too far on the horizon for the bully who could sell ice to an eskimo.
Owens could be elevated into a higher profile feud once his program with Sami Zayn ends. This report comes on the heels of Mr. McMahon's patience with Roman Reigns apparently wearing thin.
The current king of the hill, a fantasy for Mr. McMahon, is struggling to get over and is hurting the image of veterans like Styles, Anderson and Gallows. Vinny Mac is apparently leaning towards calling up NXT pillars like Finn Balor, Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura to bolster the main roster, though Triple H is still campaigning for Reigns to stay ‘the guy’.
