Bully continued to credit Owens for being one of the company's most trusted talents, but also applauded him for his character work, specifically how he can make himself relatable to the WWE audience. 

"There's a reason why Vince McMahon trusted Kevin Owens to headbutt him in the face. Why am I bringing that up? Because if you're going to be in a shot with Vince McMahon, the company must think highly of you. Kevin is not Steve Austin, but he got to work with Steve Austin," he said. "Kevin is relatable to a wrestling fan. Kevin is not a body guy, Kevin does not go to the gym, Kevin wears a shirt ... Kevin looks like guys that could buy tickets to the show, but that's also why a lot of guys are into Kevin, because they live vicariously through him." 

Bully explained that Owens being a relatable character is just one important aspect to his repertoire, because his promo work, talent in the ring, and believability consistently makes him a persona that wrestling fans connect with. Owens will look to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship from Cody Rhodes at the Royal Rumble on February 1, which will be his third attempt to take the title off of "The American Nightmare."
