WWE RAW, a show that never fails to surprise its audience, recently witnessed a last-minute alteration to its scheduled lineup.
The September 4th edition of the show was expected to feature a top-tier talent, but fans were left puzzled when he was conspicuously absent.
Kevin Owens, the former co-holder of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship, was the star in question. Early in the show, Sami Zayn, Owens’ tag team partner, mentioned that Owens wouldn’t be gracing the ring that evening.
This statement left fans speculating about the reasons behind his absence.

However, in a twist of events, the WWE decided to change the plans. Instead of the anticipated Owens vs. McDonagh match, fans got to see Zayn take on McDonagh.
Owens, despite being backstage, did not make an appearance on the show.
