When new WWE stable the League Of Nations debuted on RAW a few weeks ago, many fans questioned why Kevin Owens wasn't included in the group. With the stable comprised of heel wrestlers from countries outside the U.S., it seemed to make sense for the Canadian Owens to join-up. According to a report from PWInsider, that was actually, originally the plan. Owens was originally slated to be a member of the group when it was first conceived by WWE's writers. You may remember, however, that Owens did not appear on the RAW broadcast where the League Of Nations made their debut. That week, Owens was on the road along with his son, and they both became very ill. WWE ended up sending Owens home from RAW and the Tuesday SmackDown tapings. With Owens unable to appear on the show, he was written out of the group's introduction. In the week's since the League Of Nations was formed, WWE decided to leave him out of the group after all. Looking back, this was probably to the benefit of Owens. The stable as it is currently comprised, with Sheamus as the defacto leader, has little heat with the crowd and seems to be dying a slow death. Meanwhile, Owens appears to be receiving a top level push as one of the company's main heel characters in a feud with Dean Ambrose over the Intercontinental title, arguably the best feud going right now on a show that has lacked steam in recent weeks.
