The WWE Universe witnessed the much-anticipated return of Kevin Owens.
On the latest installment of WWE SmackDown, which aired on May 24, Randy Ortpm emerged victorious against Tama Tonga in the King of the Ring tournament semifinals. However, his moment of triumph was short-lived as Solo Sikoa launched a post-match assault. Swiftly coming to Orton’s rescue, Kevin Owens charged into the ring, confronting Sikoa head-on.
Despite Owens’ presence, Sikoa managed to dodge a Stunner and made a hasty retreat. Owens then shared a tense moment with Sikoa and Tonga before showing solidarity with Orton, raising his hand as SmackDown concluded with both men standing united.
This marked Owens’ first appearance since the WWE Backlash event in France, where he and Orton suffered a defeat at the hands of Sikoa and Tonga, thanks to the unexpected interference of Tonga Loa.
