Kevin Owens was a part of the first fatal 4 way match on RAW, but the Prizefighter failed to win that match and soon was involved in a rivalry with Enzo and Cass on RAW.

Owens became the 2nd Universal Champion of RAW after Balor relinquished the title, and KO had one of the best runs with the title. He then became a part of Smackdown Live in 2017 before returning to RAW in 2018. The former Universal Champion is currently nursing an injury and will soon make his return to WWE TV.

The Swiss Cyborg was a popular babyface superstar in 2016 but after a few months of competing in a tag team with Sheamus called The Bar, Cesaro turned heel, and the European duo quickly became the top tag team in the WWE.

Cesaro and Sheamus are currently the tag team champions on the blue brand.
