3 horrific truths from Kevin Owens' 'Pipebomb'

Kevin Owens kicked off SmackDown LIVE with a promo similar to CM Punk's
Kevin Owens kicked off SmackDown LIVE with a promo similar to CM Punk's "Pipebomb" back in 2011.

#1. Underusing the talents

Rusev challenged for the WWE Title at Extreme Rules 2018 but has not been in the TV for a long time.

“You take up TV time from Apollo Crews, Murphy, Ali, Liv Morgan, Asuka, Kairi Sane." - Kevin Owens.

Unsurprisingly, WWE has the biggest roster in Professional Wrestling. However, only a few of the Superstars in WWE get regular TV Time. WWE Superstars like Apollo Crews, Buddy Murphy, Ali, Liv Morgan, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Shinsuke Nakamura, Sheamus, and Rusev, and tag teams like The Authors of Pain barely get any TV time. Nakamura recently received a singles match against Finn Balor but the others are still massively underused.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

The most important trick WWE is missing here is the strategic use and rotation of the roster. While keeping some of their elite stars regular on TV, WWE should use the other stars sporadically. WWE has been a failure in that regard and Kevin Owens justly exposed it.

Hopefully, this promo is the affirmation that WWE will address these issues within the company and will give us a better product in the near future.
