#4 Consolidates KO’s face persona
When Kevin Owens came from injury as a face, not many were convinced as to how it would turn out to be. And to be fair to Owens, the circumstances were really not in his favor as he was used as a filler in the KofiMania storyline and have a match for the WWE Title at Fastlane against Daniel Bryan.
Owens had just replaced a crowd favorite, so it was natural for him to not be cheered as much as a face should be. After his loss at Fastlane, Owen didn’t have much to do apart from galvanizing Kingston as one of the many backstage members, which somewhat did help his ‘good guy’ persona.
But at Montreal on SmackDown, he took the game to another level. The fan reaction to him joining the New Day was incredible. Don’t believe me? Just go and read the comments on social media on anything Big O related from yesterday.
