He was so good in NXT and when he went to the main roster up until around the time he returned and fought Kofi for the title. Since then he’s been pretty damn stale. I think the only way for him to be interesting would for him a Sami to finally form a tag team and win the titles, as heels of course. Come to think of it The Mysterios vs KO and Zayn would be fire at Mania for the tag titles.

He needs a new direction
In all honesty a year or two in a tag team is probably best for him. His first few years on the roster, he had basically held some title every step of the way
Throw him in a team, maybe Zayn since they finally got a break from each other and just let it rock

He needs a new look. I say KO needs to turn heel, go bald, get new gear and just go back to the ruthless asshole he used to be in NXT. He's dope in whatever role he's in but he's gotta change it up.
Unfortunately he's fallen into the role that many superstars face and that's being the same character for years with little change. After he lost the Universal Title he's been the same guy pretty much albeit with better angles at times (Vince, Shane, Kofi, the works). Physically the guy's just gotten a better tattoo and while that's cool and all, he needs to differentiate himself more looks-wise.

I miss the little things Owens used to do to change his character up, like when he was Mount Rushmore in PWG and he had a tassle shirt he'd wear with The Young Bucks.
I think his biggest problem is he has literally done everything in WWE there is to do and he's just spinning his wheels, and this Roman storyline has done nothing to help that.

Owens has that problem Miz has had with both of his face turns, where he's unbelievably stale as a heel but they have absolutely no ideas for him as a face.

He can have some great f***ing face fire but having him get murdered by my boy on a near daily f***ing basis hurts his face standing. It really does. He NEEDS to get the upper hand on Roman at least once and he needs it badly.

I actually kinda prefer him as a face. He’s kinda unbelievable as a heel because I don’t see him as a threat at all, which I guess makes him a good underdog baby face?
KO is more enjoyable when he has someone to work off of Jericho, Sami, Joe, or the brief times he’s paired with Bryan. On his own he’s just kinda there.

He does nothing for me either... I asked him to paint my house and his response was... who the hell are you... and what are you doing here...
can you believe it?!

They blew it with him and honestly because of his misuse over the last few years outside of an entire career makeover he's just another guy. A cog in the redundant machine.

He’s usually horrible at cutting promos. Almost on the level of Keith Lee. When I watch wrestling, I want a Paul Heyman promo, not a Barack Obama press conference.

I like him as a face. I just don't need to see him feuding with Roman anymore. It's done, let's move on.

Different strokes I suppose, but I think KO looks like a slob neckbeard truck driver, but his promo ability is his one saving grace (for me personally). And Keith Lee is freaking amazing at promos. No one speaks with the matter of fact eloquence of Lee (when he's allowed to talk like he did in NXT). The fact you compare them to who you did makes me rub my chin in ponderment. Esp since Heyman is the God-king of copy and paste promos.

I dig Owens but not as a face.
His Diet Steve Austin/James Corden shtick is painful to watch.

Talented person not being used in an interesting way is basically the entire main roster.

I recently enjoyed the work he’s done with Roman. Now saying that I would have had someone else at Rumble with Roman and push for Owens to beat him at Mania.

...damn, didn’t know the streets wasn’t feeling it to this extent, lol. I like this act a lot but “baby face that clearly don’t give too much of a f*** but also if you tryna get into some shit, I’ll swing first” hits a lot of buttons for me. He’s been taking a lot of asswhoopings but get him out of Roman’s orbit for some real W’s, he’ll be golden in my nonsensical opinion.
