Kevin Owens explained his about-face on RAW this week. He quit RAW a fortnight ago, but was drawn back in because Constable Corbin has given him carte blanche to do whatever he likes. Did he use this new, unlimited power to make the Hell In A Cell Universal Title Match a Triple Threat?

No, he used it to sneak attack Bobby Lashley, which is something all WWE heels do all the time. His motivation for attacking Bobby Lashley? Lashley, who isn't his man!, put his best friend Sami Zayn on the shelf...

...in June of 2018. What was Kevin Owens waiting for, exactly? He was too busy suffering the physical and psychological torture of then-rival Braun Strowman...

...with whom Owens now shares a loose affiliation because, as a heel painted a certain colour like a motherf*cking sheep, he has an issue with The Shield.

So yeah, none of this is good. Owens does what he wants. If he wants to stand around the ring in support of his tormentor as he cuts a heel promo because it makes for a pretty, empty visual, who's gonna bloody stop him?
