Greatest WWE Heels: Renaissance Era Edition

Kevin Owens

As long as Kevin Owens is on the WWE roster, he will be making this list. As a babyface, he is one of the best, but it’s in his heel form where he truly shines. He has an intensity that makes everything he does believable. Kevin Owens is the type of character who can turn on anyone in a second. Even his closest allies have seen him turn his back on those who trusted him.

We have seen, during the Renaissance Era, Kevin Owens turn on the likes of Randy Orton and Sami Zayn. These were men he stood side by side with on the field of battle, and when we thought they were in sync, Owens would ruin the moment. Kevin Owens will always be a popular professional wrestler, but it’s his ability to turn the fans on that makes him one of the best heels in history.
