The WWE Universe left puzzled as Kevin Owens gets pulled from Raw at the eleventh hour.
Kevin Owens, a name synonymous with top-tier wrestling action in WWE, recently experienced a surprising turn of events. After a commendable run as one-half of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, Owens faced a setback by losing the titles at the Payback event. However, his sudden absence from this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw left fans even more perplexed.
The episode kicked off with Jey Uso making his presence felt, followed by a surprising reconciliation with Sami Zayn. While this was a significant development, the noticeable absence of Kevin Owens raised eyebrows. Sami Zayn even went on to mention that Owens wouldn’t be gracing the show that night.
Sources from PWInsider shed some light on this mystery. Owens was, in fact, present backstage at the Raw event in Charlotte, NC. Interestingly, as the day progressed, Owens had plans to square off against JD McDonagh in a singles match. However, in a last-minute change, Sami Zayn stepped into the ring against McDonagh instead. The reasons behind Owens’ non-appearance, despite being backstage, remain undisclosed.
Fans of Kevin Owens are undoubtedly eager to understand the rationale behind this decision. Was it a storyline progression, or were there other factors at play? As the WWE Universe speculates, all eyes will be on the upcoming episodes to see what’s in store for the former tag team champion.
