Loser: Kevin Owens

All of the momentum that Kevin Owens built before SummerSlam is starting to ebb. This as a result of his feud with Shane McMahon and his lackeys, which continues despite reaching its natural endpoint.

Instead of doing something more notable, Kevin Owens spent last night looking for Shane in his empty office and finding himself embroiled with Elias and the 24/7 title scene.

Where is Kevin Owens' character going? It's hard to tell right now.


Winner: Chad Gable

Chad Gable actually won a match on television for the first time in forever. It was against his former tag team partner, Shelton Benjamin, who also hasn't been in a match on television in forever. The result was that nobody was really into this match. Nevertheless, Gable made the most of it.

There's zero chance that Chad Gable wins the King of the Ring tournament, but if he performs well enough, maybe he'll get some second wind.

In fact, with NXT coming to USA, both of these guys feel like they could be better off under the yellow lights.
