The difference between Owens and Rusev or Wyatt is that he can hold his own and won't be forced into a stale character.
Wyatt was ****ed over by the creative team. His little 3 minute babbling baffoon rants are a huge waste of time and nobody gives a shit anymore. His character got old because his rambling during promos flat out SUCKS. Nobody even knows what the **** he's saying.
Rusev is actually a decent wrestler, although they eased him into it. Be he also will never be a big guy on the mic. No mic skills will keep him a mid tier guy regardless of anything Cena was involved in.
Barrett was never going to be a main event guy imo either. Also he can talk, but he lacks in areas that keep him from being a top guy. Barrett will forever be in the "intercontinental title" group along with Rusev.
Owens comes off like an arrogant dickhead. And that's good. He comes off as the new kid who thinks he's the man and already knows everything. But has in ring ability, and ability to cut an arrogant promo will keep him towards the top. People will always either love him or hate him. Guys like that stay towards the top. It's the ones that nobody cares about who will fall back to mid card matches.
