WWE SmackDown: 5 huge mistakes WWE made on this week’s episode (April 23, 2019)

#2 Turned Kevin Owens so early

We predicted this last week, and we’re glad we did not leave it up to this week.

Kevin Owens conveniently turned on Kofi Kingston after just a week of teaming up with The New Day. This was on the cards as WWE is finding it a bit difficult to find a competitor for the WWE Championship for Money in the Bank.

Owens got his chance at Fastlane against Daniel Bryan but lost in his efforts. He will get his second chance after only one pay-per-view, and we expect it to be nothing more than a placeholder till WWE develops someone else to have a good feud with Kofi.

WWE should have instead given this opportunity to someone like Shinsuke Nakamura or Rusev to compete in the match at Money in the Bank and waited until then to turn Kevin Owens heel to develop a stronger and better storyline for the two superstars.

With WWE hurrying into this feud, we sort of already know what the outcome is going to be.
