Andy Will Be Angry If…: NXT Takeover R Evolution Edition

 The Debut of Kevin Owens

I’m a big Kevin Steen fan. I’m excited to see him finally land in WWE.  I’m cautiously optimistic for his NXT debut.

I’ll be angry if: He rolls in and wins your run-of-the-mill squash match.  There are already a handful of guys rocking the squash match gimmick.  Another one goes far beyond overkill.  The smart fans will love him anyway, but the marks?  They’ll roll their eyes.

I’ll keep my cool if: Owens wins a short, but competitive match.  It’ll show that he’s a fighter, the way he’s been presented in his vignettes – journeyman wrestler who deserves to be here, and is at the level of today’s top stars.

What I’m expecting: Owens wins a match that’s a little squash-ier than it should be, but is still a good showcase for him.
