Reigns and Owens are almost feuding right now, after the Raw Fatal 4 way, on Smackdown they had a promo together and instead of just making Reigns pin Owens clean they let Owens count himself out to continue their fight another day. Even though the IC title is in the way I wonder if KO could suddenly be a main event player either by stealing the title at Survivor Series (losing IC earlier in the night?) or being the TLC main event opponent. Past KO I'm not sure what options they have for a Roman Reigns feud at TLC. Rusev? Sheamus? ("I have two chances at the belt" etc. etc.)
Owens just became the biggest heel in the company by default with Rollins out at least six months. He may get his push simply by being in the right place at the right time, which is awesome because I love Owens and he seems like a genuinely good guy, despite being a total jerk on camera (which is why I love him...he's hilarious). He could be a legit title contender now.
Also, it seemed like WWE creative was positioning Owens as a fringe main event guy already. He was in the main event of two Raws in a row and was a featured guy in both of them along with Reigns (and Rollins/Ambrose in the second match). They also have teased feuds with both Reigns and Ambrose along with Rollins "owing him one" down the line. I don't see why they'd include that line at all unless they were possibly planning on having him in the title picture in the future.
And that makes sense. He's one of the best workers they've got right now and is capable of putting on four star matches with the right opponent. He's also one of the best talkers they've got right now, which certainly doesn't hurt his chances. The only thing holding him back is his look, which we all know Vince probably hates. Still, there's a one hundred percent chance that Triple H really wants to push him. He wouldn't have gone through NXT so fast otherwise, and he certainly wouldn't have beaten Cena clean in his first main roster match. I guess it just comes down to how much sway Hunter has.
