Owens was in a feud with Baron Corbin on SmackDown. The former Universal Champion found himself in a 2-on-1 situation on the blue brand with Happy Corbin bringing back Riddick Moss to WWE programming for the first time in months.
Moss was renamed Madcap Moss and, with Corbin alongside him, the duo took the fight to Kevin Owens. This past week on SmackDown, Corbin scored an easy win over the former Universal Champion after hitting him with the End of Days.
