Can someone explain all of these ridiculous losses the guy has been eating recently? Yes I get that his loss to ziggler and khalisto gave the guys needed momentum by defeating whom should be a strong heel, but if it continues like that Kevin Owens will lose credibility way too soon. He needs to get a win the next against a strong baby face .. although the roster doesn't have anyone aside from Roman and Dean which are busy :/

He looks strong in defeat imo. Dolph Ziggler barely beat Owens and same as Neville. Whom he destroyed, he looked like a monster at the Royal Rumble after losing the LMS and still being in the RR, and eliminating Styles no less. Wouldn't be shocked to see him get his I.C Title back before WM (If Ambrose is in the ME scene)

The Neville lose was fine, they made him look like a monster that night, no problem there. The Ziggler loss was okay, didn't need to happen but was nothing major, the Kalisto loss makes no sense, 2 weeks in a row he loses. The only reason I can give is they're setting up a feud between him and Ziggler, which would be stupid because they've already faced each other like half a dozen times and they'd need to build Ziggler up again for that to happen.

He's their best heel, fuck it, give him Taker at Mania.

Oh god yes. Doubt they'd let Owens go over though. And I can't imagine the shitstorm Taker would get if he beats Owens at Mania.

Cena is the only one that gets fed. He was wrongfully fed Wyatt and hurt him very badly. Took an extremely long time to recover and tbh Bray has yet to fully recover.

Rusev is in the same boat.

Taker, Brock and Reigns dont get fed shit. Nobody has been built up to be fed to them.

It's all Cena.

Even Dean Ambrose said the Shield were gonna be fed to Cena, but enough people convinced Mr. Dumbass not to allow that to happen.

Cannot wait for the day Cena retires.

Perhaps I'm in the minority but I don't feel Owens has been booked weak or unjustly. I'm nearly positive that if anything, they're higher on him now than they were a few months back after his debut on the main roater. He looks strong to me and none of these losses have damaged him. I wouldn't even think about them if it wasn't for them consistently being brought up.


Im far from a WWE apologist, but I think it's premature for fans to already be hitting the panic button.

That's what can happen for undermining the locker room leader. If the locker room leader tells you to not say crap on social media, you listen and don't post stupid stuff. Instead, he went around running his mouth acting as if he represents the entire locker room as if he is their leader. This is his minor punishment for not listening.

I think it's just to make people think that he can be beaten. As long as he wins at the ppv's (preferably cleanly) where it matters then I'm fine with it. Already kind of lost hope for his Raw and Smackdown booking when he first lost to Neville cleanly in under 20 seconds...

And yea, I know he's lost his fair share of ppv matches, but at least he comes out of them looking strong when he does. His credibility hasn't been totally tarnished yet. He still looks like a beast imo.

Dude was chewing off pieces of Kalisto's mask. Ziggler was sitting there putting them both over. When he got beat he pretended he was gonna drive him through the announce table and instead flew him into Ziggler and kill switched them both.

Damn, people complain about 50/50 booking, yet when they book something that's unique and keeps everybody looking good, "Oh noes!!My guy is six feet deep and has no cred!!"

Well if a certain post and article is to be believed, then Kevin is taking these loses because he "bullied" the creative team into changing the one who eliminated AJ Styles from the Rumble from Dean Ambrose to him. They did it but got pissed at him so he has to do a few matches of losing now "to pay for it". Seems to me he was just trying to stop them from causing any potential fan backlash that would have had on Dean whereas KO is a heel and would get deserved heel heat from it. Worked well too.

Dont know why people are complaining. 9 times out of 10 when Owens loses he gets to lay out everyone in the ring to make sure he never looks bad. He's one of the most protected guys on the roster because he sucked up to HHH in NXT. Its not like he's been Rusev'd.
