There will be zero attempts to match Andrade's Spanish with some KO-influenced French here, don't worry. Instead, full focus will go to Owens' ongoing feud with Shane McMahon, one that surely won't have ended after SummerSlam. It'll probably rage on beyond Clash Of Champions too.

If KO becomes KOTR, (pay attention to the first two letters in that King Of The Ring acronym for easy marketing), then he'd be able to counter Shane's 'Best In The World' tagline with one of his own. That'd breathe some parity into the rivalry that McMahon would detest.

Owens has been candid in interviews about his love of retro WWE lore and a determination to become someone the promotion are proud of. Winning King Of The Ring would be a real show of faith from the bosses that they want him to succeed.
