WrestleMania 36: 5 WWE Superstars who flopped and 5 who impressed

#2 Impressed: Kevin Owens

Owens defined resilience at WrestleMania

Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins were engaged in a feud for four months, which also saw several other Superstars being involved. However, at WrestleMania 36, both men had no one in their corner and had to fight their battles all by themselves. In the end, it was Owens who stood tall after picking not just one but two victories over the ‘Monday Night Messiah’ in one night.

At first, Rollins hit Owens with a ring-side bell that allowed the latter to win via disqualification. But that was not enough for Owens. He picked a mic and asked Rollins to come back inside the ring and face him in a no-disqualification match. After a brutal altercation, Owens used the same bell to hit Rollins and keep him down which led to his victory once again.

Owens also found his WrestleMania moment when he jumped on Rollins from the top of the huge sign to put his opponent through the table. It will be safe to assume that their feud will be over and we could soon see KO being involved in the title picture. Even if WWE decides to extend this rivalry beyond WrestleMania, one can be assured that they will deliver equally great matches in the future.
