Kevin Owens is on a roll, as we all witnessed when he was added to the World Championship picture after a lengthy absence. As a result, we should expect the typical main event KO to come back soon. Some indications regarding the initial persona KO played some years ago were thrown once again on this week’s Smackdown. We are discussing everything that transpired during the tag team match this week.
We all watched how The Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes paired up with his potential challenger to face the A Town Down Under. The bout was great, with each wrestler being beautifully presented, and Kevin Owens being particularly impressive. Not only that but at the end of the match, Owens delivered a devastating Pop-Up Powerbomb to Grayson Waller. This is significant since KO has not used this finisher in a long time, having changed to utilizing Stunner as the move that finishes it all for him.

After that, he violently gave the crown to the champion and began taunting the A Town Down Under. This was a crucial moment because it demonstrated how well WWE laid the framework for the encounter at Bash in Berlin.
