NXT Takeover: War Games III - 4 Reasons why Kevin Owens returned to NXT 

#1 Revenge on The Undisputed Era

Kevin Owens had a point to prove against The Undisputed Era

Whilst Triple H has some interesting things to say this past week on Raw, the way the segment ended was much more interesting since The Game wasn't able to get an answer from Kevin Owens because Undisputed Era had followed him to Raw and beatdown the former Universal Champion.

Owens obviously took this in his stride and many of the WWE Universe noted that on both NXT and SmackDown this week, Owens was a noticeable absentee, which proved that he wasn't truly on any side heading into Survivor Series. Owens wasn't even part of the brawl at the end of Raw on Monday, but he could have been selling his beatdown from earlier in the night.

The fact that Adam Cole and his team attacked Owens on Raw meant that he would be looking for revenge in some form and a call from Tommaso Ciampa would definitely have given him the opportunity he needed.

Maybe this doesn't mean he's returned to NXT. Perhaps this was just one match where Owens wanted revenge and he helped Ciampa to get some at the same time.
