Times are certainly changing for WWE and now that Triple H is in charge of WWE creative it seems that fans can expect to see some different takes on familiar characters.
Former Universal Champion Kevin Owens has been very aggressive in recent weeks as it seems that he’s going back to the Prizefighter gimmick that he used in NXT. Former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. seems to be a big support of KO and he recently showed support for Owens on his Wrestling With Freddie podcast when he said, “Kevin Owens is going to be the main face or heel, I don’t care, on ‘Monday Night Raw,’ whether anyone likes it or not.”
Freddie then talked about his reaction when Kevin Owens first joined the main roster then he followed up by talking about where things might have gone wrong for Owens.
“This is a guy that will make you watch. When he came up to ‘Monday Night Raw’, annihilated John Cena, did his own finisher to him, and did the ‘You can’t see me’, I was like ‘Oh god. They figured it out. Wrestling’s going to be great again.’ And then Vince was like ‘Nope. That guy’s not buff. That’s over.’ And now I feel like it’s coming back, ten years later … Kevin Owens is back.”
Freddie Prinze Jr. then doubled down on his praise for Owens when he added, “I would put him on both shows if you could. I think he’s cash money.”
