#4 Have Kevin Owens drop a pipebomb

WWE hasn't done pipe bomb type promos in a long time now and fans have really missed them. That became insanely evident during last week's episode on SmackDown Live, where Kevin Owens proceeded to drop a mini pipe bomb on the microphone in front of the entire WWE Universe.

What made the point even more genius was the fact that WWE was taking legitimate criticisms and using that to curate a storyline around. It's honestly a trick the company hasn't tried since The Summer of CM Punk and is something that fans will love to see play out again.

Maybe it shouldn't become a focal point in WWE, but what could it really hurt to let Kevin Owens air his grievances in a tell-all to start SmackDown Live? WWE could even have Roman Reigns sneak into the production truck, take out the staff, and then allow Kevin Owens to talk to fans uninterrupted.
