One thing that has picked up a lot of steam is that Kevin Owens will be leaving WWE once his contract expires early next year. A number of WWE stars have walked away from the promotion this year and moved to AEW aka greener pastures. In the past Kevin Owens had been in a dream stable with Adam Cole, and the Young Bucks specifically when the faction was in PWG years ago. At first my pan was to come up with an idea that in terms of booking would be something that Owens wouldn't be able to turn down. 

However, the reality is that it needs to be more than just an idea that Owens can't say no to that would get him to stick around in WWE. Especially considering how appealing it likely would be for him to move on and give AEW a try. This isn't about coming up with one big idea as much as it is about coming up with a plan for the long term and prove to Kevin Owens that things will be different if he resigns. In a time when WWE needs to try harder then ever to reestablish some semblance of a foundation within the talent roster. 

Mainly the reason why it doesn't matter if Kevin Owens is given a solid angle to get his teeth into is because one story doesn't change anything. One story doesn't change anything, because one story can be amazing then where to next. Kevin Owens needs more then one feud to put him in a position to succeed once again. Kevin is one of the most reliable members of the roster and needs to be treated more like a capable member of the roster. Remember every WWE star has a 90 day no compete clause and it's something that WWE should keep in mind and use it to there advantage if needed in the future for anyone including Kevin Owens. 

It is clear that WWE has been struggling to compete against AEW and the recent momentum that the other company has been gaining in recent months. Recently both Mick Foley and Booker, T have expressed there opinions about the recent struggles the company has gone through. Foley saying that WWE isn't the place that young talent want to be anymore or strive to be anymore. Apparently, WWE doesn't take kindly to legends they've got under contract openly express negative comments about the promotion. Think about that for a second!! If you are an ambassador of WWE aka under a legends contract then you aren't allowed to openly be critical of the company. 

Who knew WWE was now doing there best impression of how society is nowadays... easily offended and are making attempts to try and control what people you have under "contract" say in interviews or on social media then you fit this billed. WWE isn't able to stop legends like Mick Foley or Booker, T or anyone else from speaking the truth on social media or any other avenue they have to express an opinion based on facts. Instead of getting offended by the words these legends are saying why not bring them in and ask for help from them allow them to be helpful. These legends still do care about WWE and would do what they can to help rebuild the reputation and the image of the company they've called home for in some cases decades. 

Right now there is no answer to explain away this issue, but all I can say is that Foley is completely right and Booker, T agrees with every word that Mick Foley said was right. Neither of these legends need WWE the company needs them a lot more. I've said this for the better part of the last year that WWE needs to have a week full of meetings to correct the direction of the promotion and plan out a possible direction for the company. Apparently after expressing a factual opinion about something that paints WWE in an unsavory position Mick Foley isn't on the best terms with his long term employer. 

As mentioned in the previous article we will be starting the night after Wrestlemania and heading to the end of December. Let's remake 2011 and the only way to do that is starting at square one rebuild Summerslam 2011 from scratch. We will be going show by show with the highlight points from each show being what is included. Bolded names are those who win and show the difference between PPV's and normal weekly programs.
