With fans back in the venue for the first time in what feels like ages, at least for an episode of WWE television, in this case Friday Night SmackDown at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, Kevin Owens decided to really give ‘em a show.
And by “give ‘em a show” I mean he gave his body up for our entertainment:

Bless that “psychopath.” We should do appreciate him for everything he does. We also appreciate Shinsuke Nakamura, of course, for laying there and bearing the brunt of that.
What made this moment even better was the surely unintentional bump the camera took, doing a full spin before cutting to another shot giving us an up close view of the destruction while Pat McAfee is losing his mind in the background. This was an incredible spot leading right up to the finish of the main event, where Seth Rollins used a Stomp on Big E onto a ladder to score the pinfall before climbing up and taking the Money in the Bank briefcase down as a way to preview the match they’ll all be a part of at the pay-per-view on Sunday night.
What an unbelievably fun show this was.
