Kevin Owens’ dismissal in the employees on Tuesday night could result in his career moving full circle – in more ways than one.
To recap the storyline: Shane McMahon inserted himself as an substitute at the King of the Ring for Elias, who was forced to withdraw at the last minute because of an injury.
McMahon doubled down on this particular act of self advertising by installing Owens as the special guest referee and what followed was a virtuoso operation from Owens as he did every thing within his power.
Rapid-fire counts for McMahon pin attempts were out from glacial-slow equivalents to Gable’s, but Owens was powerless to prevent the bell from ringing once Gable wrapped McMahon up with a specially beautiful-looking Kurt Angle-inspired foot lock (with additional grapevine) and that he duly tapped.
The outcome of this is while Owens will seek employment that Gable will face Baron Corbin in the King of the Ring, a result delivered by an sweating and exhausted McMahon to his face.
It’s a similar scenario in which a reduction to McMahon would have meant the ending of the WWE career, to this one which presented itself to Owens at SummerSlam.
The things made then are still applicable now. That using WWE having stakes in independent promotions, a special’travel back into the time’ type story may be told within a few months and comprising a vast array of situations and places not before seen by the mainstream WWE audience.
Where Owens was a winner for five decades at 2015 after a livelihood on the indies which can comfortably be categorized as dazzling, but it might just be a return to NXT.
If any indication of such a move was required, it came in the shape of Owen’s post-SmackDown tweet, which simply read:”14-24-20″. N is the 14th letter of the alphabet, X is the 24th and T is the 20th. It is, then.
And that should await Owens in NXT than a person against whom and alongside whom he loved a number of his greatest moments?
Adam Cole has been a rival of Owens – Kevin Steen – the pair and in Ring of Honor and Professional Wrestling Guerrilla remain friends to this day.
Cole currently finds herself together with his Undisputed Era faction running roughshod over all comers at Rush, as the singles champion in NXT and the ruler of the world title.
Could that extend to Owens, that is – in storyline terms – a totally free agent, and of course a huge title, in the exact identical time NXT is about to debut on network television from the United States?
