#1 He's been kept away from the title picture for way too long

Did you catch the snippet of Kevin Owens doing commentary with New Day member Xavier Woods during the Nakamura vs. Kingston match, this week? Woods referred to Kevin Owens as a former WWE Champion, but Owens would correct him and mention that he was only a former Universal Champion.

It's been such a long time since he was the Universal Champion that it's easy to forget just how good he was. Before his injury, Kevin Owens was in a pointless feud with Braun Strowman, that had its comic moments but did not showcase Owens in all his potential.

And this is why I personally believe that it did not make sense for Owens to be kept away from the title picture anymore. And to take on a babyface like Kingston, Owens had to go heel.
