Kevin Owens Just Cut WWE’s Promo of the Year on Raw (Video)
Kevin Owens’ promo from WWE Raw will go down as one of the best by the end of 2017.
One week ago, Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho held their “Festival of Friendship” segment, which reached some incredible highs, and crashed with the ending. This saw Owens turn on Jericho by putting him on a new list, “The List of KO”.
Heading into Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, what Owens would follow up with was unknown, until he ended up opening the show. He had the spotlight on him, in the middle of the ring, sitting on a chair. KO spoke for the first 10-12 minutes of the show, going into how he will take down Goldberg at WWE Fastlane and retain his Universal Championship. It was a lengthy soliloquy about the former WCW star and even Brock Lesnar, who is his confirmed opponent for WrestleMania 33.

To finish off the promo, Owens brought up Jericho, but dropped the microphone before saying anything else.

This gave the former NXT champion the most heat he’s had in WWE. For nearly two years, the fans had cheered him as this beloved heel that beat up John Cena, had great matches with Sami Zayn, and one of the most entertaining Superstars on the roster. However, this was the first time he received hatred from the fans who booed him for his entire promo.
