While he remains one of the most entertaining parts of WWE's weekly programming, Kevin Owens has not exactly had the most stellar year of his career. Sure, he's had his moments, particularly at WrestleMania, where he defeated Seth Rollins after diving onto him from a giant sign. But overall, KO has regressed quite a bit since SummerSlam 2019.

Last year, Owens was calling Shane McMahon out and cutting shoot promos all over the place. He was getting massively over as the relatable babyface, who stood up to his evil boss. KO also had the Stunner as a finisher. He defeated Shane O'Mac at SummerSlam, but WWE failed to move his momentum forward.

Owens was struck with fines and firings from Shane following SummerSlam, and while he finally ousted him from WWE during SmackDown's premiere on FOX, his main event value had slowly dwindled away. The former Universal Champion did make a hair-raising appearance at NXT TakeOver: War Games, proving he is still a top star.

However, following his feud with Rollins, WWE has merely used him as a vehicle for other Superstars and angles to get over, through his talk show, 'KO Show'. It is a responsibility only given to some of the best talkers in WWE, but one cannot help but feel that Kevin Owens can be so much more right now. He doesn't even have a proper feud heading into SummerSlam.
