Ups…

3. Owens Stays True

No matter how awful Raw is, Kevin Owens almost always manages to be an oasis in a desert of crappiness.

The KO Show welcomed Shane McMahon to promote Raw Underground, which put the former bitter rivals together again. Owens made sure to get his verbal jabs in against Shane, and McMahon didn’t hesitate to rub a little salt in the wound, reminding KO that his fight club brawler Dabba-Kato beat him up recently.

But Owens hadn’t forgotten. When Dabba-Kato showed up, KO got right in his face and told him he remembered what he did two weeks ago, promised he would get his receipt, and then slapped him, saying it was “something to think about.” Owens then brought out DK’s Raw Underground opponent Braun Strowman for a staredown, making Shane’s life a little more difficult, as he tried to keep the two apart.

It was a nice little piece of business, and it set us up for an Owens/Dabba-Kato match, even as the KO/Aleister Black rivalry continued.
