The former Universal Champion Kevin Owens was scheduled to appear on this week’s Monday Night Raw to face Ezekiel, Elias, or their younger brother Elrod in a Money in the Bank qualifying match. However, Owens wasn’t appear on this show and that match was postponed without potential date. Later, it was reported that Kevin Owens absence was due to minor reason.
Now, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that the former WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens could appear on the go-home episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
“I did not check if Kevin Owens would be ready by Friday. I just know that he was not ready tonight, but it’s nothing serious, is what I was told. So perhaps he could be ready by Friday and they could do that match.”
Meltzer also stated that WWE might want to book Kevin Owens for Money in the Bank ladder match as he can do very high crazy stuff and impressive spots in a ladder match.
“Kevin Owens is a guy that you kind of want in that match. He’s really good at working with ladders and things like that. He’s got a lot of experience and he’s got a very high willingness to do crazy stuff. So, maybe the idea was for him to go in. I don’t know that he necessarily was going to win.” (H/T: Ringside News)
