While Roman Reigns getting multiple chances at the Universal Championship is a negative (because he’s a supposed good guy), constant complainer Kevin Owens being bestowed another opportunity is perfect for his character.

Owens was gifted a second shot at qualifying for the Money in the Bank ladder match, and he cashed in by pinning Elias to earn a spot. This came after his buddy Sami Zayn took out Bobby Lashley. And just like that, KO is more detestable for receiving another chance by running to Stephanie McMahon to overrule GM Kurt Angle.

It’s a perfect setup for Owens, and it furthers Angle’s shadow feud with Stephanie, who has been off TV since Rousey torqued her arm after WrestleMania.
