On Raw Monday night, Triple H tried to recruit Kevin Owens to rejoin NXT, and he made a lot of salient points about how he’d been used since being called up to the main roster. KO looked like he was thinking it over before Undisputed Era attacked him.

Saturday, Owens made up his mind.

KO joined Team Ciampa to help defeat UE in the men’s WarGames match, signing on as the surprise fourth member. His return to NXT should provide an immediate shot in the arm at the top of the card, as well as freshen up a wrestler who honestly has been misused on the main roster for a while.

Owens didn’t stand out in the outstanding men’s WarGames bout, but he delivered as usual with his array of moves. It’ll be fun to see who he feuds with first in NXT.
