• Reason Behind Kevin Owens’ Babyface Turn On SmackDown

On this week’s episode of SmackDown, Kevin Owens laid out his tag team partner Dolph Ziggler and this was seen as a babyface turn for Owens.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, WWE is now back on track with their original plan for Owens:

“It’s very clear that this is a babyface turn for Owens who just turned heel a couple of months ago. I hate turns back and forth, but originally he was supposed to be a babyface. The heel turn was just a last-ditch effort because Daniel Bryan got hurt and now he’s getting back to where they wanted him originally.”

The post Reason Behind Kevin Owens’ Babyface Turn On SmackDown appeared first on WWF Old School.
