ZitatAlles anzeigenFrom the WWE Rumor Mill: Kevin Owens could return to Monday Night Raw
Could the stay for KO be a brief one on SmackDown Live?
Bryan Alvarez stated on a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Live that he expected Kevin Owens to join Monday Night Raw after his match with Shane McMahon at Hell In A Cell.
Owens moved to Smackdown Live this past April during the first Superstar Shakeup of the year that took place a week after WrestleMania 33. He then began calling himself the "Face of America" because he was in possession of the WWE United States Championship.
There are rumours that a second Superstar Shakeup is going to take place sometime in the fall, and Owens moving to Mondays would fall in line with those noises. There is also speculation that Jinder Mahal could head to Raw alongside Owens, ahead of the Raw brand's tour of India in December.
Alvarez also stated in this edition of Wrestling Observer Live that the WWE had multiple plans in mind for the finish of the Hell In a Cell match. One of the which could involve Stephanie McMahon getting involved and sending Owens to Raw.
As for the Smackdown Live roster, he mentions that there is already a lack of star power on the show, and moving Owens would hurt that further. A major name from Raw would need to move over to prevent an even bigger imbalance between the two shows.
The Hell In A Cell match takes place on October 08, 2017. It is one of two matches announced to take place inside the cell, with the Smackdown Tag Team Championship match being the other when The New Day takes on The Usos.

From the WWE Rumor Mill: Further evidence of Kevin Owens' potential transfer to RAW emerges
Kevin Owens looks likely to switch brands after Hell in a Cell.
We reported that Kevin Owens was done with SmackDown Live and that he would be transferred to the red brand shortly after his match with Shane McMahon at Hell in a Cell. Now we bring you further evidence that points to this story being true.
Here is the link advertising a forthcoming episode of RAW, live from the Moda Center in Portland. Among the names advertised is one Kevin Owens.
Kevin Owens, a former Universal Champion on RAW, transferred to SmackDown Live shortly after WrestleMania 33 and has primarily been a part of the US Title picture on the blue brand.
He is set to go one-on-one with the Commissioner of the SmackDown Live, Shane McMahon inside Hell in a Cell at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. It seems like this may be his final feud in brand blue.
We quote the advertisement, verbatim, for your convenience:
This is further indication that not only will Kevin Owens move to RAW, he will do so immediately following the Hell in a Cell match. We don't know if the stipulation of him quitting SmackDown Live if he loses will be worked into the match, but that may be the case!

ZitatAlles anzeigenDetails On Creative Plans For “Sister Abigail” Debut
[Blockierte Grafik: http://up.picr.de/30546625iq.jpg]
If you were confused by Bray Wyatt‘s Sister Abigail promo during Raw this week, we’ve got the explanation you’re looking for below … but warning, spoilers lie ahead.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us the current plan is for Wyatt to wrestle at TLC using the name “Sister Abigail” — similar to how Finn Balor becomes The Demon — and he’d wear a different outfit.
From what we’re being told, WWE is NOT planning to introduce a female character with the name.
For those who missed it, Wyatt transformed into a scarecrow-like character last night during a backstage promo directed at Balor and a female voice could be heard laughing alongside his.
No word on whether the match will have any sort of additional gimmick attached.
