#2 Building babyface sympathy for Owens
How much can one truly trust Kevin Owens? This is a man who has betrayed partner after partner in the past. Whenever the audience gets used to the idea of Kevin Owens as a babyface, he showcases his true colors and his evil core almost at once.
But, with the beatdown from the AoP, I suppose it is clear now that he is the victim on this occasion. WWE can choose to book this in a roundabout way where it is finally revealed that it was a ruse and that Kevin Owens is in charge of the two brutes. It will be a mistake if that is done because who in his right mind would want to get beaten up?
The world has still not forgiven Kevin Owens for turning his back on Kofi Kingston. Now, they have a chance to see that he's not all that bad when confronted by more despicable heels.
