7 Ups And 10 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Dec 28)

1. KO Returns For The Knockout

Speaking of things that fit Kevin Owens€™ character€ Owens might have fled from a charging Dean Ambrose, but he didn€™t roam far. KO made a return to ringside after the six-man tag match, jumping Ambrose and throwing him into the ring steps. Owens wasted little time in demolishing the Lunatic Fringe by powerbombing him through the announce table, putting him out of action for the rest of the night. https://youtu.be/5Yruo6XFnwk?t=2m8s It was a perfect cap to the night for Owens, and it perfectly continued the build between Owens and Ambrose. The feud between the two over the Intercontinental Championship is what rivalries for the secondary title used to be like €“ talented guys willing to obliterate the other in the name of winning the championship. If WWE can manage to not screw this one up, we could have a really solid feud and title match(es) in 2016 to make the IC title mean something again.
