When you talk about wrestlers being wasted in WWE, your discussion has to include Kevin Owens.

KO has been treading water lately, just meandering about, doing the best he can with what he’s given. He hasn’t had a true chance to show off and really shine in some time. A draft to Raw offered a glimmer of hope, which was promptly extinguished.

Owens came out shortly after being drafted, but before he could utter a word, Akira Tozawa interrupted, took the mic and challenged Reggie to a 24/7 Championship match. With that, KO spun Tozawa around and Stunnered him. He then kind of shrugged and walked off.

Just thrilling stuff. Glad to see WWE using its talent to the fullest.
