Dave Meltzer was critical of this result on wrestling observer radio, and you can't help but think Owens has been hurt by this loss. Where does he go from here? It is as if WWE only fired him up so that Cena could beat him. They've now shut him down and his future doesn't look so bright. What we do know is that he'll be facing Finn Balor for the NXT Title at the NXT special in August, the night before SummerSlam. That could mean Owens isn't even on the SummerSlam card. His momentum is shut down for now, but that's ultimately the true test of his star quality. You've got to ride out big losses in WWE and accept you're not going to be in a feud with a John Cena for every month. How Owens performs in lesser matches is going to tell us a lot about his potential.
