1) The Original Plans For Kevin Owens In The 2019 WWE Draft
Kevin Owens was selected by RAW in the third round of the 2019 WWE Draft. He ended up being selected 13th overall.
According to journalist Tom Colohue, WWE had originally planned to keep Owens on Smackdown but changed their minds at the last minute. Here is what Colohue said:
“He [Owens] was a last-minute swap as well. The plan was very much to keep him on SmackDown based on the specific order they were reading things out and the leaked information that was in WWE.com.
“Paul Heyman probably saw what was happening and reacted to the list and said ‘Ok we need to make a change. Give me Kevin Owens. I’ll do very good things with him.'”
My Take:
- Owens has been good on RAW, so I am not going to complain. There is a real opportunity for Owens to be pushed as the top babyface on the red brand. He would have never had that same chance on Smackdown with Roman Reigns on the brand.
