If they were gonna do it I'm glad they did it quickly tbh. If they had strung it out it would have just made me sad!

C'mon. We all knew this was coming. If I go to a theme park, I know I'm getting a sunburn. Doesn't make peeling skin off of my neck any more enjoyable. But that's the most satisfying feeling ever.

I mean... why would you ever trust Kevin Owens? Isn't him doing this shit kinda his thing? The next wrestler to think Owens is his friend is officially the stupidest wrestler in history. Remember, the only one to not fall for Kevin "Knife In The Back" Owens was Braun Strowman. And people were feeling bad for Owens getting a heaping helping of karma. But he keeps doing it!

Kevin Owens can't get comeuppance without people thinking it's Vince/Hunter/Whoever shaming/humiliating Kevin Steen.

Kevin Owens has been a heel 99.9% of his career and has worked for some of the best minds ever in the history of the wrestling business. That tells me that heel is the role he is best at. He is kind of boring and corny in a face role from the bit of it I have seen over the years. Those Kevin Owens- shitty at bowling, relatable family man promos were lame as shit.

It was inevitable that KO would turn heel. It's what he does, and the WWE doesn't have the imagination to subvert expectations for more than a week or two.
But it would have been better if he'd remained Big O for a few weeks, and then turn heel when Big E is ready to return and save his buddies.

It would’ve been even better if Kofi/Xavier were wise to KO’s scheme and outsmarted him, but we’d have threads about how Owens is a bitch or something.

And for how unfair it is to Steen to make him play Owens as a stupid character who gets outsmarted.

Just stick Owens on colour. His promos are boring and hasn't had a good match since reigns at the royal rumble. Or my two portly slobs tag team idea of him and Chris hero.I definitely don't hate that idea.

The couple of weeks of Kevin Owens in the New Day were clearly too beautiful to last. It was obviously leading to a heel turn.
I'm really sad we didn't at least get a few more weeks of it before he turned, because he was actually really good at it - his Big E impression was funny, and the 'BECAUUUUUSE' backstage this week was great.
I look forward to one day seeing more of Kevin Owens as a babyface - anyone recommend anywhere that he does that that isn't Ring of Honor? Because f*** Ring of Honor.
On the sunny side: - Kevin is an amazing heel and he isn't as stale having been off TV for so long - He tends to have great matches - The fans went with the reaction WWE were after, booing Kevin and cheering New Day, which these days is goddamn miraculous in a WWE ring - It doesn't matter if he loses because his stock is pretty low - Even if he does win, because I like Owens there are much worse people for Kofi to lose the belt to

Okay, I thought of a much better way to look at this.
Yeah, Kevin Owens turning heel right away might suck. But remember who got moved to SmackDown Live last week.
Guys, girls, it could have been Kofi vs Jinder Mahal.
We got lucky.

Between Owens going back heel again and Charlotte getting yet ANOTHER TITLE MATCH AGAIN I'm really not feeling Smackdown at the moment. 2 developments that happened *after* Road Dogg stepped down as head SD! writer, curiously enough...

Horrific racist, Kevin Steen.
First, he kept targeting El Generico so he clearly has something against Hispanic folx. Then, he spends most of his time beefing with Roman on Raw while rocking the Brahama Bull on his arm so that's cultural appropriation right there. Now, he's letting his anti-blackness shine through after shucking and jiving.
(For the love of all that is holy, I'm kidding, I don't think Steen is actually a racist and I have no real proof to indicate so)

I was kind of intrigued when I heard they were turning Owens face, thought they couple play it up by saying "I was a dirtbag before because all I cared about was making money to provide for my son, but now he's older and I realize I also want to teach him how to be a good man" or something.
Obviously Steen/Owens is a much more natural heel, at least historically, but I guess if there's a downside it's that it still doesn't feel like WWE really develops characters, they just kind of alter alignments so they can book individual matches with a more clear cut face/heel writing dynamic.

Sting: Nah, f*** all that, even I know you can't trust Owens. Not even if he offered you a delicious refreshing Sprite?

Back to the faces getting savagely beaten down by what appears to be an out of shape neckbeard. Wrestling is odd sometimes.
