Kevin Owens Now Listed As Babyface – According to PWInsider, Kevin Owens has been moved to the “babyface” section of WWE’s internal roster. Owens has been in a simmering feud with Men’s Money In The Bank winner Austin Theory, confronting the former United States Champion on last night’s edition of RAW. The two exchanged tense words before Theory escaped a Stunner from Owens.
Owens has been a heel for almost the entirety of his WWE run, but he remains a favorite among fans for his in-ring ability and mic work. The former NXT and Universal Champion was the glue that held together a ridiculous storyline about twin brothers Elias and Ezekiel, endearing him to fans further despite sending Ezekiel to the hospital last month.
Following Vince McMahon’s resignation and the creative takeover Triple H, Owens declared a return to the “Prizefighter” persona that he portrayed in 2014 upon his “NXT” debut. While he initially came out to confront the babyface Drew McIntyre, Owens has been taking on heels ever since, wrestling the likes of Theory and Chad Gable while repeatedly calling out Roman Reigns and the other members of the Bloodline, including Owens’ lifelong friend and former tag team partner, Sami Zayn.
