13 WWE Extreme Rules 2019 Impulse Reactions
4. Kevin Owens Vs. Dolph Ziggler
Kevin Owens dropped Dolph Ziggler with a stunner to claim victory in just 17 seconds as 'The Show Off' continued his selfless mid-year return.
With no match to speak of, the 'Prizefighter' instead spoke again of his disgust with Shane McMahon, mocking him for the beating he took from The Undertaker as well as highlighting just how much damage he's done with his post-Crown Jewel ego trip.
This - and Owens' SmackDown Live promo earlier this week - has made chicken salad from what was rapidly becoming a sweaty puddle of chicken s**t. It's hard to imagine that the overabundance of 'The Money' across both shows was designed to get a new babyface over (not least after immediately just finishing a series with Roman Reigns) but that's exactly what's happened thanks to the brilliant instincts of the former Universal Champion.
It's unclear where all of this will go, but that's part of the nervous excitement around this tantalising babyface switch. For the first time in ages, Owens feels relevant, dangerous and - like his ardent fans - hopeful that he may finally have turned a corner.
