Owens has no fukking clue how to work hold or a control section in a compelling way. He's great at doing flippy stuff and beating the shyt out of himself and his opponent, he should stick to that.
I was never a big fan of Owen's singles work until he got to NXT and the main roster, but for more than a year I feel he went back to his old indy "just there" work (unless he was working with Sami). He's so much better at tags. He's one of the few people that can do entertaining shyt with his character constantly though, that's his main strength as a performer imo.
