WWE Raw: 10 Things You May Have Missed (Nov 21)
7. Kevin Owens Takes A Dig At Daniel Bryan
There's a reason fans routinely cheer for Kevin Owens, the guy is just so entertaining when portraying his heel character. It also didn't hurt that Monday Night Raw was in Toronto, Canada this week. Everyone in the audience went crazy for fellow countrymen like Owens and Chris Jericho.
During The Highlight Reel, KO and Y2J teased dissension before revealing it all to be a ruse. Then, Seth Rollins marched down the aisle way and demanded a shot at the WWE Universal Title on the show. As he did so, the fans in Toronto started chanting 'Yes' over and over again, hardly out of the ordinary in WWE nowadays.
Often, such chants go without comment from performers inside the ring, they're treated as being part and parcel of today's product. Eagle-eyed viewers with open ears will have likely noticed Kevin Owens drawing attention to the chants.
Trying to shut the crowd up, Owens said that the guy who chanted 'Yes' isn't relevant any more. Naturally, KO was talking about Daniel Bryan. That was subtle, yet superbly handled.
