So, let's not dilly-dally any further, let's see what's gone on in the WWE this week shall we?
#1 The truth behind Kevin Owens 'quitting' and his match at Super Show-Down
Whilst we're on the subject of the Super Show-Down let's talk about Kevin Owens. Kevin Owens sensationally quit the WWE after losing to Seth Rollins in an Intercontinental Title match on Monday Night RAW.
The issue with that is that Kevin Owens was scheduled to team up with Elias to face Bobby Lashley and John Cena at the big event in Australia but now that he has 'quit' the match is up in the air.
Before you get carried away, Owens hasn't actually quit as he signed a new five year contract with the company earlier this year, so this is simply a storyline. The WWE are even using it to promote Super Show-Down, as they released the following statement.
As for Owens and Elias, KO revealed on the Aug. 27 edition of Raw that he “quits,” so it remains unknown at this time how that unexpected revelation will affect this scheduled match. Will Elias need to find a replacement?
It seems to me that Owens will be back after a short break with rumors suggesting that he might be the next Paul Heyman guy. My money is on the advertised Super Show-Down match going ahead.
