Big O has already turned on Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. How sad is that! Last week, Kevin Owens became an honorary member of the New Day, and his ride along with the coolest 'goofy' guys had been fun thus far. While everybody could see the ending, nobody knew when Owens, as he always does, would backstab his 'friends.'

It didn't take time, did it? After Kingston's disqualification victory over Shinsuke Nakamura, the new New Day looked on the same page, taking on Rusev and Nakamura. Then, Owens leveled Kingston with a Super Kick out of nowhere. What followed next was a brutal beatdown for Woods and Kingston, including a devastating powerbomb on the apron to Woods.

While Owens will be Kofi's first challenger for the WWE Championship, WWE may take the title off Kingston. If Bryan's not returning anytime soon, it makes sense to put the title on Owens, making him the brand's top heel. Though it'd have always been a better option to have Bryan regain the title from Kingston, WWE has kept his injury a secret, and we have no idea when and if he'll return.

Nonetheless, Owens and Kingston should deliver for the blue brand, and Owens may win a WWE Championship.
