Kevin Owens was on a fantastic run when he was first promoted to the main roster back in 2015, a huge win over John Cena put him on the path to glory before he finally lifted the Universal Championship the following year and took his place at the top of the WWE ladder. Sadly for Owens, this was more of an end than a beginning.

Over the past three years, Owens has bounced around SmackDown and Raw with neither brand knowing what to do with him. Aside from the fantastic storyline with Chris Jericho, Owens has been put in alliances and feuds with Sami Zayn because WWE always seems to revert back to the same story, and has been fired from SmackDown twice, which is why he's now on Team Raw.

Could Owens showing up on NXT tonight be him finally giving up on the politics of the main roster and deciding that he will follow in Finn Balor's footsteps and return to NXT to help their ratings in the coming months? Could it also be Owens wanting to start from the beginning once again and rebuild?
