Kevin Owens vs. Grayson Waller was fundamentally fine as a match, but is anyone else absolutely sick of seeing these guys (mini) feud? The stuff between KO and Waller/Austin Theory has been trundling along going nowhere for a while now, and there's surely no fan desire to see them work again for a while.

Treading water would sum it up.

A rematch better not happen during this United States Title number one contendership tournament, that's for sure. WWE can't keep hitting the repeat button on this, or dragging others like LA Knight and now Logan Paul in. it's really not that interesting, guys. Move on!

Being fair, the workers themselves aren't to blame for that. They can only do their best to keep things rolling along, but Owens, Waller and Theory haven't been backed by any compelling story to make people care. So, as a result, all of their interactions match or otherwise are mediocre.
