Most fans would recollect the controversial storyline featuring Shawn Michaels and John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL) which transpired back in 2009. Michaels portrayed a man who was financially-bound, owing to a legal contract with JBL--one which saw the latter abuse his power and treat The Heart Break Kid as though he were a second-class citizen.

Well, controversial as it may have been, the storyline garnered a ton of attention from pro-wrestling fans as well as casual viewers of the sport worldwide--with Michaels finally freeing himself from the financial anarchy--defeating JBL in a stipulation match at No Way Out where the rules stated that if HBK wins he's free of the contract, whereas should Layfield win Michaels would become his permanent employee.

Well, considering how "Constable" Corbin--one of the current top authority figures on RAW--has paid little-to-no heed towards Owens complaints against Braun Strowman; it makes all the sense in the world for WWE to re-present the HBK-JBL angle in its 2018 version. Corbin could have Owens as his personal butler for several weeks, before Owens finally breaks free of his kayfabe servant/butler contract which Corbin deceitfully lured him into.

Owens and Corbin could end their rivalry at Survivor Series in November--with KO finally breaking through as a true hero, returning to form as the man who we'd known to be a menace on NXT back in the day...
