Why Kevin Owens Turned Heel

During this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown Live, honorary New Day member Kevin Owens turned on Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods following the WWE Champion’s win over Shinsuke Nakamura.

Kevin Owens had only joined the world famous five-time tag champs during last week’s episode of Smackdown Live after Big E was put out of action via injury – we still don’t know when E is expected to be back in action.

The reason for Owens’ sudden turn on his new stable mates is down to the currently undisclosed injury suffered by Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35.

According to Dave Meltzer on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, a ‘Mania rematch was supposed to be taking place at the Money In The Bank PPV between Kofi and Bryan, but because the former Champion won’t be back in time for the event, the Owens heel turn was done.

Daniel Bryan has been Medically Cleared!

Shortly before this weeks Smackdown Live the news broke that Daniel Bryan has been medically cleared to wrestle in a WWE ring. This resulted in a gloriously heartfelt promo from the bearded one to start Smackdown and ended with the possibility of him being on the Wrestlemania card.

After suffering a beat down at the end of the show its this bloggers opinion that things are being set up for Shane Mcmahon and Daniel Bryan Vs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Good booking as it protects him from suffering an injury on the grand stage, saves him for hot tags and he'll be safe working with Owens and Zayn.
