Kevin Owens returned from injury last month to get an immediate push by Vince McMahon himself. He got booked in the WWE Championship match at Fastlane 2019 against Daniel Bryan. It was an impromptu setup by the creative team to provide a filler in the title storyline prior to Wrestlemania 35. So he ended up losing the match.

Now just six days to spare for the biggest stage of them all, Former Universal Champion Kevin Owens is still looking forward to finding a place on the match card. At present, WWE has not booked him in any of the matches. So it’ll not be surprising to see him competing in Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

However, positive updates are available for him heading into tonight’s episode of Smackdown Live. It could turn out that Kevin Owens may just get himself inserted into one of the already confirmed matches of Wrestlemania 35 making it a triple threat affair.
As noted by WWE.com, The Kevin Owens Show will return on Smackdown with two very special guests,
“With KO never afraid to stir things up between his guests on his always-provocative talk show, it’s almost a guarantee that The Phenomenal One and The Viper will get some final digs in before their battle on The Show of Shows. Exactly what will go down? Find out this Tuesday night on USA Network at 8/7 C.”
Now wrestlingnews.co reported that WWE creative might just decide to insert Kevin Owens into the AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton match. It should happen on tonight’s talk-show segment o Smackdown. The dream singles contest might just get postponed in that case just to make way for the prizefighter into the Wrestlemania match card.
Vince McMahon treats this man as one of the most talented superstars in his locker room. Ever since coming to the main roster, he managed to get him special matches for Wrestlemania which is not the case, this year. This is because of his hiatus from TV due to knee injury starting from 2018 fall.
This is why WWE had an alternative plan in-store for him around the biggest event of the year. They originally decided to bring him back, the night after Wrestlemania 35. But then the plan changed due to WWE’s will to make Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston official for Wrestlemania. Here’s the update from wwfoldschool.com,
“According to PWInsider, the original plan for Owens was to return on the post-WrestleMania 35 edition of RAW/SmackDown. However, WWE officials rushed his return to further the storyline with Kofi Kingston, where he was scheduled to be screwed out of the WWE Title picture.”
