Returns to the biggest sports entertainment company is a big event already, but Kevin Owens made it even bigger by returning to his hometown, Quebec. As KO entered the arena, it felt like the entire arena was shaking from the noise that his fans in the Quebec province. He came with an agenda, and that agenda was to fight in front of his home crowd.
But this led one big superstar to get none of the love that she already gets from the fans. When The Judgement Day entered the arena, even the charisma of Rhea Ripley wasn’t enough to get the faction a single cheer. Instead, they were met with seething boos. Is this the effect of being against hometown heroes or is Ripley’s magic fading away?

These fan reactions just go to prove that fans aren’t done with Owens and Zayn. Instead, it just took some time but with Owens’ return, the duo finally has the attention of everyone. Just like their run with the titles back during the WrestleMania season, it was a nice visual to see that fans are still clamoring for more Owens and Zayn.
With Survivor Series coming soon, we can comfortably say that this year as well, both Zayn and Owens will be a part of the WarGames, if it happens. With the way the story with JD McDonaugh and Judgment Day is following, that would be one team going against a rag-tag group of Zayn, Owens, and the other good guys in WWE.
