Kevin Owens is one of the most controversial WWE stars, who is more of a provocateur owing to his hot-headedness and active rhetoric. But this latest scandal has potentially placed him right on the precipice. Owens was accused of being responsible for an injury that sidelined Randy Orton indefinitely, while he was also banned from an episode of “WWE SmackDown” and, in his frustration, decided to take to social media. His vehement response not only depicted his frustrations over WWE management, but also pointed to a possible showdown with the management of WWE.
Kevin Owens Expresses Frustration
This self-annoyance came from the rising frustration that Kevin Owens demonstrated in WWE earlier this year when he recorded a two-minute video entitled Injustice. He defended himself by saying that he only did what was expected of him in his line of business when dealing with Orton.
Kevin Owens remarked that he decided not to lock horns with Orton in the first instance, but circumstances challenged him to do so. The event was a result of Orton’s constant pursuit of a match at Crown Jewel, which, according to Kevin Owens, was WWE management’s idea, not his. The output led to Orton going out on a stretcher for an unknown amount of time while Owens will be the one receiving the backlash for the occurrence.
Backlash and Criticism
Kevin Owens was astonished to be punished for what he asserted was beyond his ability to influence. Even when Triple H was cautioning him about Orton, the Canadian antagonist found himself in the middle of the ring with “The Viper.” The upshot of this conflict was that Randy Orton got hurt and was taken off WWE television for a while, and Kevin Owens was consequently punished.
In Owens’ view, the fault indeed lies at the top of the WWE management structure, not him. He considers that he deserved the punishment and points to those cases that, in his opinion, show partiality and preference for some personalities, such as WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes.
The event has offered an additional subtext to Kevin Owens’ WWE story, which may lead to further squabbles in the future. Whether Owens will now make up with the management or is to take his insubordination to the next level remains to be seen; what is certain, however, is that this employee is not about to shut up anytime soon.
For now, fans wait for Owens’ next appearance to see how he is going to deal with the consequences of his actions and what WWE officials will do to him. As would be expected, there are several interesting points of dramatic tension here that will likely come into play as Owens continues his narrative in WWE in the coming weeks.
Conclusion
As a personality, it remains only fitting that Kevin Owens retains the option to turn a heel or face simply due to his loud mouth. His recent dissatisfaction with the management and the repercussions stemming from the beatdown of Randy Orton have created another dimension to the character. As to whether he will continue to fight WWE officials and obtain higher authority to do so or not, fans can surely expect much more of Kevin Owens’ defiance. These spikes have only made his journey more dramatic and action-packed, and there’s more to come next week.
