#3 Kevin Owens to start a feud with Apollo Crews on RAW?

At Backlash 2020, Apollo Crews successfully defended his United States Championship against Andrade in the first match of the night. This match lived up to the expectations and certainly deserved better than being a part of the pre-show. After successfully defending his title against Andrade, it appears that Apollo Crews might find his next challenger in Kevin Owens and it can happen on tonight's episode of RAW.

At the recently concluded PPV, Kevin Owens joined the commentary team during the United States Championship. As usual, Andrade had Zelina Vega and Angel Garza on his side which gave the challenger a slight advantage. Towards the end, Garza went to attack Crews, but he was taken out of the equation by Kevin Owens with the help of a stunner.

As a result, Crews could bring back his focus on Andrade and moments later, the latter was pinned. Although it was Kevin Owens who helped Crews in retaining his title, it is quite possible for him to initiate a championship feud with the latter. And maybe, we will see this feud kickstart on this week’s episode of RAW.

Owens’ entire gimmick has been that of an opportunistic guy, and after spending weeks on RAW, it is possible that he is now desperate to enter a title picture. A feud with KO will also be immensely beneficial for Crews as it will help the RAW Superstar in cementing his place as a dependable talent irrespective of the final result of this storyline.
