5. Kevin Owens Moves On from NXT to Rivalry with John Cena
Kevin Owens has been on the radar for many years, most recently for betraying his friend Sammi Zayn to win the NXT championship title. However, the NXT belt just wasn’t enough for Owens, who took advantage of John Cena’s open challenges to try to claim the U.S. Championship. After defeating Cena in a non-title match, the face of the WWE and the WWE’s newest heel had an ongoing rivalry full of incredible matches and some of the best promos of the year. It all came to a head in July, when the two faced off at Battleground. Cena got Owens to tap out to retain the title, which was later taken at SummerSlam by Seth Rollins. The rivalry between Cena and Owens has died down, but Owens is now a regular fixture in WWE mid-card events.
