Looks like we have a mystery on our hands, folks. Kevin Owens took on Kofi Kingston to kick off WWE SmackDown Live this week but before the two battled it out in the ring, Owens denied that he was behind the attack on Big E.
In case you missed it, Big E returned from injury seemingly to only sniff Kofi Kingston's armpits last week. He was found injured in the backstage area and it was believed that Kevin Owens was behind the attack on him.
Now, the question is that if Kevin Owens wasn't behind the attack, then who was? It's time to put our investigator hats on and bring you the answer, dear reader.
Please let us know in the comments who you think could have been responsible for the attack as well, if you guys can spare a minute.
#5 Nobody
What if Big E is swerving us all? What if he is only pretending that he was attacked so that he can potentially team up with Dolph Ziggler again? Big E has been sitting on the sidelines for far too long while Kofi Kingston rules the roost as WWE Champion.
A lot of wrestling commentators have been saying for a really long time that Big E should have been the man to be the breakout star of The New Day and not Kingston. Maybe this can be used as a storyline for Big E to turn heel and effectively break up The New Day. As much as we love the act, we all know that it has run its course by now.
Big E and Kofi Kingston know each other in the ring and their matches will be incredible to witness. They could both use this program to ascend to the next level, going forward.
#4 Bray Wyatt
It is clear that WWE has big plans for Bray Wyatt from the fact that the company has pushed him so much through vignettes. And the fact that it seems like Bray Wyatt's brainchild means that he will be pushed as a big deal, going forward. I am curious to see exactly what the company has in mind for him when it's time for him to re-enter the ring.
Considering that he's playing a schizophrenic character who's playing a minimum of two characters - the Fiend and Wyatt himself, I think it's all too likely that he was behind the Big E attack. This would bring him into the WWE Championship picture right away. Kofi Kingston will want revenge for Bray Wyatt's actions.
Bray Wyatt did not have a convincing run as WWE Champion in his first run. This could potentially be the best run of his life if things work out.
#3 Lars Sullivan
Lars Sullivan just seems like the kind of Superstar that is likely to cause chaos and carnage. The only reason he's low down in this list is that a backstage attack doesn't seem like it would be his style of assault.
But that said, WWE will do whatever is convenient for them at that point in time and whatever potentially fits their ongoing storyline. Kofi Kingston vs. Lars Sullivan could prove to be a pretty interesting storyline for WWE because it would make Kingston the underdog once again.
If you notice, the sheen that surrounded Kofi Kingston seems to have worn off in the past few weeks. And this is because he is no longer the underdog, but the dominant champion who's vanquished most of his challengers with the utmost ease.
I suppose what the WWE Universe wants to see is yet another uphill battle featuring Kofi Kingston.
#2 The Undisputed ERA
Not long ago, I'd conducted an interview with The New Day. The guys told me that they really wanted to take on The Undisputed ERA down the line someday. Could this be the setup to bring them up to the main roster?
The foursome seems to have already accomplished all that they want to down in developmental. By blindsiding Big E, they could have set the stage for a lot of interesting matches. There could be tag team matches or fatal four ways or just about anything else.
I don't know if this would be a wise move at this stage considering how many superstars from the roster are getting lost in the shuffle. But the Undisputed ERA seems like they're all destined for greatness and it will be interesting to see how they're used on RAW or SmackDown Live.
I do think that the blue brand may be a better fit for the stable.
#1 Aleister Black
Aleister Black just wants to pick a fight with someone in the current roster. He does not care who he goes up against as long as he gets to fight with someone at all, as the promo this week told us.
It is clear that he may no longer be the same babyface that teamed up with Ricochet and had that really entertaining run. If anything, I think that Aleister Black may be unleashing a heelish side and anyone or anything that stands in his path will be obliterated, is what he has been implying.
Big E could have been the unfortunate person who happened to be in his path last week. Of course, I could be completely off the mark and hence, I'm curious to hear what you guys have to say as well.
