You’ve gotta give Kevin Owens credit for thinking.

KO knew that Braun Strowman was the odds-on favorite, not just in their fatal four-way match, but at Money in the Bank, so he tried to enlist Finn Bálor and Bobby Roode to help him by ganging up on the Monster Among Men. He went so far as to bring Bálor olives (as an olive branch).

Regardless of character, it was a smart move by Owens, but it also fit his character perfectly to scheme to take out a competitor by any means necessary. Having that work is a completely different thing, but still.
