Where does one begin with how WWE handled Kevin Owens in 2020?. One of the early favorites to win the 2020 Men's Royal Rumble Match, the Montreal-native currently he isn't involved in a major feuds. Owens' appearances on RAW have become a bit formulaic as of late.

"The Prizefighter," occasionally appears on RAW and more often than not he is hosting The Kevin Owens Show. During the course of the talk show segment, he gets involved in a heated argument with his guest. This usually leads to a match later in the night which Kevin Owens loses. It has been quite sad to see a performer of Owen's caliber reduced to a talk show host.

Owens was absent from WWE programming following WrestleMania 36 because of an injury he suffered during his match on "The Grandest Stage of Them All". He also opted not to perform when the pandemic was at its peak but that still doesn't justify the way WWE has used him lately.

Kevin Owens is a world-class performer and one of the most popular stars in the company. One can argue that he was the most popular babyface on RAW at the start of 2020. He got the loudest reactions during the build-up to his match against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 36.

Isn't it odd that the man Kevin Owens beat in April, Seth Rollins, is in a high-profile match at SummerSlam, while Owens currently doesn't have a match scheduled for "The Biggest Party of the Summer?"
