Kevin Owens is one of the top superstars of the WWE Raw brand who was lost in the shuffle ever since the Wrestlemania 38 season was gone. Despite having all the potential, he was not booked in intriguing storylines which is a shame. Despite his efforts to entertain fans and peers, the veteran was never elevated from the mid-card level.
As noted above, Kevin Owens has been a regular feature on Monday Night Raw for a long time and Triple H is the new leader of the red brand after Vince McMahon is gone. That being said, there are some positive updates available regarding the former Universal Champion’s current situation.

Over on this week’s WWE Raw, Kevin Owens has made his in-ring return after staying out of action for over two months. He wasted no time in going after his long-term rival, Ezekiel. After sending Ezekiel face-first into the ring post, he delivered his finisher, the pop-up powerbomb, to him onto the ring apron.

The referee checked on Ezekiel and then called the medical personnel down to ringside. Afterward, Ezekiel was stretchered out of the arena as Kevin Owens stood in the ring, smiling. This one attack was similar to his debut on WWE NXT where he also delivered the pop-up powerbomb on the apron to the then-new NXT Champion Sami Zayn. This move cemented his heel characteristics and perhaps the recap was just to remind the fans what he is capable of.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has already reported that Triple H now has big plans in store for Kevin Owens. Triple H was also the one who personally oversaw Owens’ transition from NXT to the main roster in 2015. The set of actions on TV over this week’s Raw eventually confirmed that the Canadian Superstar is going to be a regular feature on TV, moving forward.
This week’s segment marked Kevin Owens’ first in-ring appearance on WWE Raw since the June 13 edition where he faced off against Ezekiel and lost via count out. This feud against Ezekiel has been ongoing since WrestleMania 38 after Ezekiel interrupted him to re-introduce himself to the WWE Universe. The two also competed at WWE Hell In A Cell PLE which Owens won.
