And done!
And done!

#1 To push Kevin Owens as a main eventer again

A much-needed win in a mixed year

Ultimately, Kevin Owens reeded the win. And since he is a signed Superstar, he was always going to, anyway. We need to remember that Kevin Owens' year has been a big mixed bag of sorts.

He was originally scheduled to wrestle Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 for the WWE Championship, but he was unfortunately negatively affected by Kofi Kingston's success. Not that it's anybody's fault, but he was simply a victim of the circumstances.

Firstly, his babyface turn was cut short as he had to challenge for the WWE Championship and secondly, he was clearly thrust away from the spotlight. Moreover, he gained serious momentum with this storyline but looked terrible when he started begging Shane McMahon to revoke the $100,000 fine.

All those 'Stone Cold' references instantly went down the drain. The point is, Kevin Owens needed the win and Shane McMahon's firing can now be a catalyst to push him back as a main eventer. Don't be surprised if he's challenging for the WWE title soon.
