ORLANDO, Florida — Kevin Owens has made a dramatic impact on Friday Night SmackDown following his stunning return at SummerSlam.
After missing more than a year due to a serious neck injury, Owens made an earth-shattering comeback and immediately returned to title contention. The veteran defeated three other competitors in a Fatal 4-Way Match to become the No. 1 Contender to Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk.
Owens’ long road back to the ring culminated in a statement victory that has now set up a high-stakes clash with Punk. Attention now turns to how the champion will respond to the challenge and prepare for his next title defence.
Fans can follow the latest developments on SmackDown, live tonight at 8 ET / 7 CT on the USA Network.
