Former WWE writer blasts mistake with Kevin Owens on RAW
Kevin Owens teamed up with Jey Uso to take on The Judgment Day on RAW last week. However, an accidental kick from the former Bloodline member led to his team's loss, and Owens left the ring in frustration.
Former WWE writer Vince Russo discussed the segment on the latest edition of Legion of RAW and criticized the 'lack of intrigue.' He said that the exchange between KO and Jey was pointless as it was evident that the latter wouldn't join The Judgment Day. Here's what he had to say:
"There is no intrigue here because you know it was an accidental kick. He's not joining The Judgment Day. Everybody knows he's not joining [The] Judgment Day because it wouldn't make any sense. Therefore, the kick was an accident. So all of this nonsense is for not." [6:00 - 6:30]
It will be interesting to see what's next for Kevin Owens in WWE. For now, fans are invested in seeing how Jey Uso's arrival on Monday Night RAW will impact KO's equation with Sami Zayn on the red brand.
