Why Kevin Owens Was The Only WWE Day One Main Eventer Around This Week

He still means something. We are less than two days away from the first pay per view of the year WWE Day One, but the Coronavirus is making things a little bit more complicated. There are so many cases of the virus running around at the moment that the card itself is almost on a day to day basis. WWE has held off on allowing some wrestlers to get in the ring, but that is not the case with one prominent wrestler.

Last weekend, WWE ran a pair of live events on Sunday, December 26. These events featured several major names missing in action despite being scheduled in advance. Of the five names scheduled to wrestle in the Day One main event matches, only Kevin Owens appeared. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this is due to WWE feeling that he is the most expendable of the five wrestlers. The five in question are Owens, Seth Rollins and Big E., plus Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, all of whom are currently still scheduled for Day One.

Owens is pretty great at anything he can do. Check out what he has been doing lately:

Opinion: On one hand, I get the idea from WWE’s stance but it doesn’t exactly make things look great for Owens. He is still a big star in WWE and while it is nice to see him on television, the fact that he is the only main eventer around at the moment is a situation to have. Hopefully everything works out and WWE realizes what they have with Owens, but you never can tell.

What do you think of Owens? How will the Day One title matches go? Let us know in the comments below.
