4. Odd Couple Potential?

Say hello to KO-rbin.

After dishing out a Stunner last week, Kevin Owens had a change of heart and started feeling sorry for down-on-his-luck ex-'King' Baron Corbin. He even gave the big guy $40 to put in his pocket, then saved him from those dastardly Dirty Dawgs after Corbs took Shotzi's tank missile to the d*ck.

What a sentence that is.

Scrape past all of the "ha ha" going on here and there's some odd couple tag-team potential. WWE should note how natural Owens and Corbin were when trading lines, and they may fancy recreating the success of Randy Orton and Riddle over on Raw. Why not?

It's hardly like KO or Baron have anything better going on these days. They could develop further chemistry, form an unlikely union and go after The Usos' SmackDown Tag belts. Winning those could then, in turn, help ease Corbin's financial struggles.
