Kevin Owens open to joining major WWE faction; potential alliance formed
Following a devastating loss at WWE Backlash: France, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton are currently outnumbered by Solo Sikoa's Bloodline. Recently, a popular star asked Owens if he would like to join a major faction in the company and the veteran has responded.
The Prizefighter was selected by SmackDown in this year's draft. Logan Paul defeated Kevin Owens and Randy Orton in a Triple Threat match to retain his United States Championship at WrestleMania XL. Owens and Orton also lost to The Bloodline this past Saturday at Backlash due to interference from the debuting Tanga Loa.
Speaking on WWE's The Bump today, Owens said he would be willing to join the Latino World Order and wear a mask in the faction as well. Vega pitched the idea earlier on today's show and KO responded during his interview.
"Yeah, I had the shirt [LWO shirt] on once, remember? I'm ready, just give me the call. I'm ready. I'll put a mask on and everything. No worries. I have a El Generico mask that I took from my independent years," he said. [From 01:02:48 - 01:03:06]
