WWE SmackDown Preview: Big Steel Cage match booked, Roman Reigns’ Fastlane match, champion in jeopardy? (March 5th, 2021)

#5 What’s next for Kevin Owens on WWE SmackDown?

Kevin Owens is enjoying a great run on WWE SmackDown, where he has cemented himself as one of the biggest babyfaces in the company. He recently had an extended feud with Roman Reigns, and it appears that their title rivalry has come to an end. However, that did not stop Owens from issuing a challenge to Jey Uso.

When these two WWE SmackDown Superstars came face to face inside the Elimination Chamber, there was a heated exchange that followed. Both Owens and Jey Uso assured each other that they are yet to sort out their differences, and they looked keen on doing it inside the ring. The history between these two Superstars will further fuel the rivalry if it is booked.

There is a lot that Owens can do on WWE SmackDown as a babyface. He can form an alliance with Daniel Bryan or work with Sami Zayn. He can even feud with the likes of Seth Rollins as we move forward. KO has momentum on his side, and the creative must make the most of the same. After all, KO is capable of delivering compelling narratives even when there is no title involved.
