10 Biggest Winners (& Losers) Of WWE Draft 2021
10. LOSER: Kevin Owens
Any hopes that WWE might try to make a play to keep Kevin Owens were dashed on Monday.
Look, we know the reports about Owens' contract coming up in early 2022 and with the not too subtle posts on social media, it's fair to predict that Owens already has one foot out of the door. But this past Monday showed just how little they intend to give KO on his way out.
Taking to the ring, Owens was cut off by perennial jobber, Akira Tozawa, who demanded a shot at the most pointless belt in wrestling history. Apparently, that is more important than Owens arriving on the red brand, where five years ago, he reigned as Universal Champion. Sure, he dropped Tozawa with a stunner, but it's hardly great stuff.
Owens still has name value to the company, so expect him to be lined up to be jobbed out over the next few months. Need someone to heat up Lashley after Goldberg takes a chunk out of his credibility? Owens is your man. Want Damian Priest to pin another big name? Owens is your man.
Considering RAW is a three hour slog, there is no way Owens won't feature on the show. Unfortunately, for the remainder of his contract, he won't feature in a prominent way.
