5 things WWE RAW got right this week: Champion pinned first time; Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley attacked

#2. Kevin Owens stunned Damian Priest on WWE RAW

Kevin Owens invited Seth Rollins to be his special guest on The Kevin Owens Show on WWE RAW. The two men exchanged some punchlines and put each other over, taking their friendship to the next level.

KO announced himself for the men’s Royal Rumble match before Damian Priest insulted both men. The exchange led to a match between KO and the United States Champion.

Priest used his strength early and shook off a shoulder tackle before rolling Owens over. The latter rolled out of the ring to catch his breath and get back in the game once again.

The Archer of Infamy stayed aggressive throughout the contest and put KO on the backfoot. Owens avoided a superplex and hit a senton bomb for a near-fall. After nothing seemed to work, The Prizefighter faked a leg injury. The distraction allowed him to pin Priest with a Stunner.

It was a good contest that put both men over. It was also the first time Priest had been pinned on an episode of RAW.

KO now seems to have a future United States Championship shot under his belt. He could become the next mid-card champion if Rollins wins the Universal title at Royal Rumble.
