WWE SmackDown Grades: Mr. McMahon Dashes The Dream Of Kofi Kingston
2. The Kevin Owens Show
Talk shows are nothing new in the WWE with a wide variety of successful shows over the years. One that hasn’t gotten as much attention as it maybe should have comes courtesy of Kevin Owens, who is now back as a babyface and looking to make an impact.
Owens failed to capture the WWE Championship at Fastlane, but that didn’t hurt his mood any last night when he hosted The Kevin Owens Show with special guests Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. With two-thirds of the perceived WrestleMania main event involved, fireworks were bound to go down with these volatile women.
The KO Show got going with Owens trying to stir up the pot a bit between Lynch and Flair. As if the pot still needed stirred, but Owens lent a helping hand nonetheless. He got them fired up enough to get in each other’s faces before KO subtly left the ring to let them go at it. And that’s exactly what they did with the brawl spiraling out on the floor with numerous security guards trying to break them up.
However, both The Man and The Queen put their hands on numerous security guards before they were eventually separated at long last. This was an action-packed segment that didn’t need many words to be said between Lynch and Flair, just a mini-brawl. Owens did a solid job of hosting this segment and his subtle comedy was well-done throughout.
Former best friends turned bitter enemies are nearing the pinnacle of their issues with The KO Show helping things out last night.
Final Grade: B+
