Booking Kevin Owens' Intercontinental championship reign
‘Fight Champ Fight’Kevin Owens hasn’t been on the main roster for a long time, neither has he been in WWE as a whole for a long time.But the 31-year-old has created quite an impact since debuting in NXT in December last year. He’s become the best NXT Champion till date and now already holds a singles championship on the main roster.He’s been gloriously squashing and trash talking his way through the main roster. He seems like the next right guy to bring back some relevancy to the title he currently holds. There are a lot of storyline opportunities that can be had with a performer of the caliber of Owens.Here are 3 ways in which Owens’ Intercontinental title reign can be built-
#3 The Prize Fighter
Kevin Owens has been in the company for less than a year and in that time span he’s made it clear that he’s a prize fighter.
This year he won the NXT Championship and had a tremendously memorable reign and now he’s the Intercontinental Champion on the main roster. He’s also, now, gone on to call the IC title the Kevin Owens Championship.
Building him like he values and respects the championship and that he’ll do anything to protect it is something that typically any champion should be made to look like but not many get it right. Owens did this in NXT and succeeded.
The same should be done for any title he wins- he guards it as much his own life and his family’s. It’s his so much so that it’s an entire part of his being. And the thing is that he defends it only on special occasions. He won’t put it on the line on just about any night.
He should make the championship look and feel like a big deal and make winning it something worth an equally big deal.
