Kevin Owens’ dismissal in the team on Tuesday night could cause his career moving full circle – in more ways than you.
To recap the storyline: Shane McMahon inserted himself as an substitute at the King of the Ring for Elias, that had been made to withdraw at the last minute because of an ankle injury.
Because he did everything within his power to make sure that the boss 40, mcMahon doubled down to this particular act of self marketing by installing Owens because the special guest referee and what followed was a virtuoso performance out of Owens.
Rapid-fire counts for McMahon snare attempts were balanced out by glacial-slow equivalents to Gable’s, but Owens was helpless to prevent the bell from ringing after Gable wrapped McMahon up with a specially beautiful-looking Kurt Angle-inspired ankle lock (with additional grapevine) and he duly tapped.
The web result of this is that Gable will confront Baron Corbin in the King of the Ring closing while Owens will be seeking new employment, a result delivered directly with the sweating and exhausted McMahon to his face.
It’s a similar situation at which a loss to McMahon could have meant the end of the WWE career to this one which presented itself at SummerSlam to Owens.
The points made then are still relevant today. Namely, that with WWE having stakes in several promotions, a distinctive’travel back to the big time’ kind story can be told within several months and comprising a wide variety of situations and places never before seen from the mainstream WWE audience.
But it may just be a simple return to NXT, where Owens was a winner for five decades at 2015 after a livelihood on the indies which could easily be categorized as dazzling.
If any sign of such a movement was required, it came in the kind of Owen’s post-SmackDown conversation, which simply read:”14-24-20″. N is the 14th letter of the alphabet, X would be the 24th and T is the 20th. It can be, then.
And who should await Owens in NXT than a man against whom and together with whom he loved a number of his best moments in that dazzling career on the indies?
Adam Cole was a rival of Owens – subsequently Kevin Steen – in Ring of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and the pair remain good friends to this day.
Cole finds herself with his Undisputed Era faction, as the top singles winner in NXT and the holder of their world title.
Could that expand to Owens, that is – at least in terms – a completely free agent, as well as a huge title, at exactly the identical time NXT is going to debut on network television from the United States?
