Kevin Owens got what he wanted.
This week’s SmackDown opened with Kofi Kingston addressing Owens turning on The New Day last week. Kingston and New Day are all about giving people second chances. Owens took his opportunity to redeem himself and parlayed it into double crossing his new friends after only seven days of friendship.
Kingston laid out a challenge to Owens at Money in the Bank next month and the former New Day member was quick to accept.
