For his debut, I would book him as a regular, soft-spoken, humble family man. I'd produce vignettes a la American Idol. I'd show him working in a factory at the overnight shift, or as a security guard, to put food on the table while he pursues his dream of becoming a WWE Superstar. I'd break it up into three vignettes. The first one I would introduce him by stating how much he loves wrestling and sports-entertainment. He would reflect on his heroes growing up in Canada, the Harts, etc., and the stars of the WWE: Hogan, Austin, etc. Make up stories about how he missed hockey or lacrosse games to go to the movie theaters to see the early IYH PPVs. Talk about the sacrifices he made to train with the best wrestlers in Canada while also supporting a family. Vignette number two would feature his family in a very real and non-exploitive way (I even chuckled at that one). He should talk about his struggles with family life and wrestling, including the health issues with his daughter. He should explain how difficult it was for him to pack up his family and move them to a completely different country. In the third one, he should tell us how he got into the WWE and how he won't stop until he gets to his ultimate goal: the WWE championship.
Honestly, I think it's a more endearing way to introduce him. There are a ton of guys screaming and making noise in NXT. He could be a plain-spoken breath of fresh air. Plus, it might be a side of him that we rarely see...closer to "Zoo Enthusiast" than "KillSteenKill". I've seen Kevin be the intense, crafty, badass. Also, it's a chance to try a new character approach.

The idea of some every day guy who tries to appeal as an everyday person, but has an extreme violent streak inside the ring would be interesting. Almost a spin on the Waylon Mercy gimmick.

Honestly? I adore the idea, I really do. Giving him that Blue Collar sort of background working for his dream, but take the spin of him having a violent streak in the ring. It doesn't have to be his entire gimmic though, then we wander into the territory TNA hit with Bobby Roode in 2011.

Let him be his own man, let him find his own voice and his own persona. Give in guidelines e.g "be a prick" or "be a face" and then just see where it takes him.

His gimmick should be Vince Russo. The guy who comes up with bad gimmick match idea everyweek and somehow The Authority seem to allow these matches to take place.
Dean Ambrose vs Kevin Owens!

Put him with one of the new Divas they just signed and have them do a modern day Skip & Sunny fitness enthusiast gimmick.

Kevin Steen Owens: Regular Guy is going to be a minor board meme.
