6 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Oct 1)

4. Counting Down The Days?

Forget Randy Orton and Riddle for a minute, 'cause somebody needs to ask Kevin Owens, 'R-U-OK, Bro?'. The babyface is clearly going through the motions these days; maybe not so much in terms of the performances he's putting in, because he's always consistent, but WWE don't seem interested in using him correctly.

Perhaps a leap to Raw in the Draft will reignite his fortunes.

Most of the pro wrasslin' community (Twitter, at least) seem to believe that KO is a shoe-in for an AEW jump once his WWE contract expires in January 2022. That could be the case, and WWE's total apathy towards him makes sense if so. Maybe they see a #AllElite post coming during 'Mania season themselves.

There was nothing especially wrong with Owens' loss to Happy Corbin on Smackers. Really, there wasn't, but it's a far cry from jousting with Roman Reigns at the top of the card, or even rubbing shoulders with Logan Paul in celeb segments.
