3. Whats Next For KO?
Coming off a Fastlane Intercontinental Championship title defense, Kevin Owens was riding high. So it was only natural that he was off Monday night last week what? Owens returned to action on Smackdown, challenging an absent Dean Ambrose, only to get stuck tangling with Big Show instead. Most likely, Owens is not being primed for a WrestleMania program against Show (we can only hope), so whats the next step for KO? Ambrose is locked up in a program with Brock Lesnar, and Undertaker is facing Shane McMahon, so that leaves a limited number of opponents for Owens and his IC title at Mania. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKE9kUaN5iE The big rumor recently has been AJ Styles stepping up to challenge him (Owens eliminated AJ at the Royal Rumble), and before that, it was Sami Zayn getting his shot on the main roster (Zayn tossed KO from the Rumble). The Zayn rumors have died down with each passing week that he wasnt on Raw, so now you have to wonder if its going to be Styles challenging or if were going to get another multi-man IC title bout at WrestleMania.
