WWE Raw: 10 Things You May Have Missed (19th Sept)
9. Kevin Owens Was Justified In Criticising Mick Foley
It's always interesting when WWE position a babyface as a top authority figure on programming. As much as heel General Managers and other authoritative characters are there to fuel a babyface's fire, someone like Mick Foley grates on natural heels such as Kevin Owens. Recently, KO has had every right to wonder what Foley's problem is.
At the start of the show, Mick made a Steel Cage Match between Roman Reigns and Owens for Raw's main event. This was due to interference from Rusev in the match between both men on last week's show, and also due to an interruption from Seth Rollins earlier in the headliner.
Coming out to address the unfair treatment, KO wondered why he was being subjected to Foley's whims. Ironically, despite being a super-heel on television, Owens was 100% right to question the General Manager's decision making.
After all, Owens didn't actually do anything wrong last week. It wasn't necessarily his fault that Rollins or Rusev interjected, nor was it his doing when Triple H cost Reigns the WWE Universal Title a while back. Heel or not, KO was bang on the money.
