4 years of Kevin Owens in WWE: 3 positives and 3 negatives

#1 Negative: WrestleMania 35

WrestleMania 35 was originally supposed to feature a WWE Championship match between champion Daniel Bryan and challenger Kevin Owens.

However, at exactly the same time that WWE began airing vignettes for the return of Owens as a babyface, Kofi Kingston took the place of the injured Ali in the Elimination Chamber match in February 2019 and he built up a ton of momentum in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania 35.

Owens, meanwhile, was fast-tracked into a WWE Championship Triple Threat match at Fastlane, where he and Ali lost against Bryan, and Kingston overcame multiple obstacles before winning the WWE Championship at ‘Mania.

As for KO, he ended up not competing at WWE’s biggest show of the year, despite the fact that he was originally supposed to challenge for the company’s most prestigious title.

Discussing the situation with Sky Sports, Owens said:

"I actually went home because I couldn't be in that stadium. I flew home to watch it [WrestleMania 35] with my kids and my wife. I'm not sure how many people in this company are aware of that but I came back the next day. It was nice to be with my family, that made it a lot easier, but if you're in this company and you're not on WrestleMania and you don't take it hard, you should probably go do something else with your life. I don't think anybody can fault me for that."
