Glad to see him back, but I hope to f*** they scrap him using the Stunner as a finish like immediately. Seeing anyone else use that move as a finish in the present day comes off so so so low rent. I’m a big KO fan and I agree with this. It doesn’t work. Have him keep the Pop Up and if they want an “Oh shit” finisher, have him break out the Package Piledriver. He could also finish people with that moonsault. There’s tons of awesome moves he could use as finishes. Heck, if they wanted to, they could probably elevate the Go Home Driver or the pumphandle neckbreaker into a finisher. Dude has a lot of options other than using the finish of one of the biggest stars in wrestling history.

I wouldn't have minded him getting this title shot if they hadn't announced Kofi as #1 Contender first. Everyone who lost at Elimination Chamber has to go to the back of the line, I'm fine with that logic. Bryan even said something to the effect of "The person I'm facing... won't be any of you" as if he already knew his challenger. But Shane made the logic-defying decision of announcing a Chamber loser as #1 Contender after all, only for that rug to be pulled out anyway.

Really going in with the whole “family man” thing again. I’m happy about that. It’s something that should’ve never been dropped in the first place.

Yeah I hope Owens can rebound after this Bryan loss. I don't know if Truth will be US Champion then but if not give the belt to Owens because he needs something. Hell, I'll take Owens/Wyatt. I just want Owens doing something good as a face to build up to a world title win as a face rather than being in a title picture immediately.

He's been sitting around doing nothing for a loooong time and he pretty much is their go-to in situations like this where a guy can't win but shouldn't lose. Although I could kind of see them going with having KO win then have Bryan take the belt back on SmackDown via DERP just as a, "Here, a quick apology for jerking this away from you," kind of gesture.

Here's an idea. What if Wyatt interferes and costs KO the belt to set up the Wyatt/KO WM match? Afterwards Harper joins and we get Kofi/Bryan while Xavier, Big E, Harper and Rowan watch from the sides. That would put Bryan's group all together again and Wyatt can run with Bryan for a good while until Wyatt takes the group back over and it also gives KO someone to go after at WM.

Though it'd be funny as shit for Bray to be so damn bad as a cult leader that he managed to fall into the cult of a guy he tried to recruit.

I don’t know who’s less likable as a face Owens or Rollins. Have you see any of ROH stuff? He’s actually an excellent face.

I don't think you can have KO lose this match at Fastlane and just move into a mid card support role, whether he gets screwed out of the title or not. Him getting screwed out of the WWE title should lead to him getting another shot and he'd have a better claim to one than Kofi, who lost clean, which could put a dent into the shine Kofi's got now. Having KO willingly move on from the title he was just screwed out of just seems dumb as hell. I think they've booked themselves into a corner. They can kill off KO yet again or blow the opportunity they have with Kofi.
If they hadn't already blown the triple threat on the Raw women's match this would be the spot it. You could have New Day running off Rowan (and someone else?) and have Bray return and drag KO off so it gets down to just Kofi and Bryan, with Kofi taking the title. Then you'd have time for an actual build, probably with Bray terrorizing KO's family to help drive home that he's the new Foley.

I get his look and story but he just comes off so minor league. He looks like some a-hole that goes to the bar and trys to pick fights for no reason. I’m sorry I can’t suspend disbelief if I think I could take the guy.

Not sure why some seems upset Kevin is using the stunner I could have swore he used it before in fact I think he used it on Roman Reigns and pinned him with it years ago

Oh well at least that match won’t be wasted at WM like it was originally rumored. Kofi deserves the WM title match, I still don’t think he wins there though.

Austin has been retired for the better part of two decades, so it's not like Owens is stepping on his toes. Also, I remember Austin marking for Owens using the move a couple years back, his only complaint being that it was used as a mid-match move. I'm sure he's all for Owens using it as a proper finish. Besides, it's a great move.

I love him using the Stunner. It's a quick finish he can use on anyone.

Still not buying if he's truly a face or not, so that's interesting.
Dude's arms are massive now. Good to see he put some time into the gym while away.

And he won with a Stunner. So that's neat. What a mark, lmao. Why not do The Family Man Elbow?

He's a man.. Such a man. He's a maaaan.. A real family man.
Played over footage of KO trying to stay awake at a school play and struggling through Thanksgiving with the in-laws.
