November 11th 2023.
It was an emotional night on the latest episode of SmackDown as WWE superstar Kevin Owens was suspended indefinitely. Owens was temporarily filling in for his friend Corey Graves on commentary with Michael Cole and Kevin Patrick. The Prizefighter was warned by General Manager Nick Aldis not to get physical with any competitors.
However, that all changed when Grayson Waller and Austin Theory attempted to provoke Owens. Despite sticking to the rule for much of the night, the duo poured water on the former world champion, made fun of him and threw a bottle at Patrick, which was the final straw. Owens then retaliated, attacking both men and defending his friend, leading to his suspension.
When the decision was made official, he reluctantly accepted it, but remarked "It's a little rough, no?". SmackDown was a night of betrayal as Santos Escobar attacked Rey Mysterio and Asuka turned on Bianca Belair using the blue mist. Carlito - who pointed out Escobar's role in Logan Paul winning the United States Title from Mysterio - lost to Bobby Lashley in singles action, with the All Mighty and the Street Profits attacking him, and Santos not helping the rest of the LWO.
Elsewhere, Kairi Sane officially joined Damage CTRL after her return at Crown Jewel, while Asuka turned to the dark side in the main event to also join the ranks. Dragon Lee beat Cedric Alexander, while LA Knight roasted Grayson Waller on the mic before beating him in the ring to regain some momentum.
WWE SmackDown airs on Friday nights at 1am on TNT Sports 1, and it's sure to be an interesting episode with Owens suspended for the foreseeable future. It will be intriguing to see how the Prizefighter reacts and the storyline unfolds as a result.
