General Manager Nick Aldis set a face-to-face meeting between Kevin Owens and CM Punk before the Money in the Bank qualifier match in the main event. GM had both stars agree to stay out of each other’s way to reduce the chaos they created in their bouts.

The Best in the World agreed, while Owens walked away. Fans noticed that Owens was wearing Randy Orton’s signature Viper jacket.

This could be more than a tribute; WWE may have left a hint about what is coming next. In a surprising twist, Kevin Owens could turn heel and join forces with Randy Orton.

Together, the two could help each other annihilate their competition and reach the ultimate goal of capturing the gold. The two previously worked together as a team and were popularly known as Team R-KO.

Owens and Orton as heels could change SmackDown’s entire trajectory.

That said, the angle proposed above is speculative, and nothing is confirmed as of now.

Kevin Owens opened up about his WWE injury

The Prizefighter was out of action for nearly a year due to a career-threatening neck injury. He made a remarkable comeback at SummerSlam 2026.

In an interview with the Toronto Sun’s No Holds Barred Podcast, Kevin Owens revealed that his career had been at significant risk, and he was unsure whether he would wrestle again.

“From the time they told me we were going to have the surgery to the time I had the surgery to the time they told me I was good to go, all of that was very uncertain. There was never a guarantee that I’d get back in the ring at all,” he said.

That said, it will be interesting to see what plans Triple H and the WWE creative team have in store for Owens in the coming weeks.
