@@President_Shin prime example of an idiot who watches wwe through reels.... he was a face for longer than roman's heel turn kevin trully looks like a superstar its just that you want superstars to look like godzillas with endless circles of steroids that they eventually die from overdose, risking their health in the process just to satisfy your filthy ideas kevin is more agile than most of WWE's heavyweights, let that sink in
Homelander is the hero of the people who will do anything it takes to get what he wants. Who do u think is acting like that? Yeah that's right, Cody. He teamed up with Roman to make himself look like the champion of the people.Codylander is coming out piece by peace.
Remember it was a slow burn, ko hesitated and didnt want to turn on cody originally. Ko can play such a good bad guy but also such a good anti hero and now even such a good complex character his depth is so good
He can actually nail any role. He can be a badass babyface like he was against Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, a comical babyface, a badass and menacing heel, a comical heel, an outstanding antihero against Shane McMahon. He is the complete package . Look at his moveset.
I want Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre to team up, both have similar motivations and are justified in being heels, Drew had his huge moment taken away by the Bloodline and Kevin Owens had the Bloodline targeting him and his career
Absolute fact. More than anybody he deserves it . Roman and Seth don't need to win it anymore . They have already buried the roster before and have won championships more than four times . Guys like Kevin Owens , Sami Zayn and la knight need to win the world championship . Cody can retain it back too . But no Roman and Seth . There time is up as champions
I love the idea of making Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre never forgets how they had suffer from the Bloodline way back few years ago. It makes realistic as a man.
It's not just Roman Reigns being given instant redemption without suffering the consequences of his actions (like losing matches as he no longer has outside interference to aid him): Rhea Ripley was given fan support despite being responsible for turning Dominik Mysterio against his family and backstabbing Liv Morgan ... was hoping during her face turn she'd ask Rey for help only for Rey to remind her what she did and for the first time in his life says "Go F*** Yourself" to Rhea. A shame babyfaces can't seem to get revenge without the fans turning on them nowadays (Just ask Wardlow after MJF betrayed him).
I suddenly remembered what HHH said about wrestling is a reflection of reality and perhaps this might be one good example... as a society, we set a unrealistic high standard for a good guy and super low for a bad guys. which means, if a bad guys do a good thing once, he'd be called a hero and vice versa.
It's funny to me how WWE's best heels at the moment all have great motivations - KO is just right - Liv was rightfully angry at Rhea for not only injuring her, but betraying her way back when she joined the Judgement day - Finn is mad that Damian cost him all of his title shots and then acted like he was better than him when he got the title - Drew has been on a downward spiral ever since the bloodline ruined his moment and Cody welcomed Jey to raw as if nothing happened Meanwhile the biggest babyfaces like Rhea and Cody (or even Seth Rollins to an extent) are basically acting like heels but with a big smile on their faces and people are cheering so hard for them lmao
This is the video I needed because "KO is right!!" I have been feeling like I am the only one who has seen this. Everyone I know seems to think KO is a villain, but he's not.
So, He is basically Deadpool of this world, who knows he is just a character and how every character in this world is controlled by writers and how everything moves.
kevin not only fight bloodline when he was in raw he continuously fight against judgement day too , he has been always against the top heel of respective shows not some middle man
True his feud with the judgement day . I still remember when he defended the tag titles with sami they were literally outnumbered 5 to 2 and they still fought tooth and nail . I also remember his match against the fiend . That was a good setup . KO gave gis all in that match too
To be fair wrestling fans forgot things really easily like the same happened in the Liv Morgan and Rhea fued as Rhea attach and hurt Liv first and then she because gave Dom Stockholm syndrome by manipulating him to join Judgement Day. She then got over use the nickname Mama which Dom gave her. But when Liv returned and got revenge that really was quite understandable why she did. She was the villain.
I can't believe I'm saying this but this is the first time I'm cheering for the heels to win? what happens if the OG bloodline goes back to being heels again and taking back all the goals?
Yes, Kevin was screwed over by the Bloodline, but (in kayfabe) it doesn't justify using a banned move on Rany and Cody. Yes, it looked wrong to see Cody team with Roman (one time), but he did so to take on the bigger threat of Solo and Jacob. And with Drew, he unjustly blamed Jey for making him lose in Whales when it was Solo who screwed him over. Drew kept demanding an apology like a child for months. In 2024, he kept beating down on CM Punk for nearly a year after injuring him and was always surprised when Punk got payback.
If you see the over arching story Cody will turn out to be the bad guy and KO will be the good guy. Remember their argument and fight outside Cody’s bus which was never explained?
One of the most interesting things about Kevin Owens character is his near constant justification at least as a heel that he's feeding his family I think that's a great part of his character that needs to be looked into more because it's obviously just a b******* excuse for him to be a sadist but at the same time he's not lying either
I use to be on cody side becase i thought everyone Deserves a second chance but hearing this i understand kevin so much..... now am agains cody becase he did him wrong
It's almost that thing of "as long as he's on my good side, he's excused" This has happened countless times and I start to wonder if anyone else if picking up on it
KO & Cody each grab a belt at the same time (no winner). On SD Nick Aldis says they'll both take part in the elimination chamber for the title and both of their pods will open last. The winner gets to choose which of the 2 belts will be the belt moving forward. On SD every week in backstage interviews each of the chamber participants say if they win, they'll choose the current belt. KO's the only 1 that says if he wins he'll choose the winged eagle. At the chamber the final 2 are KO & Cody. After the 3rd last opponent is pinned and gets extracted by the refs, somebody emerges from the crowd in a mask & hoodie and slides a chair to KO who uses it to pop-up power bomb Cody onto it 4 the win. The masked guy goes to the top of the ramp. KO makes a "Y" gesture with his arms at his direction to express confusion. The mystery assistant does the same, shakes his arms to tease his identity, takes off the mask and it's Bret. Toronto cheers. At the post show KO & Bret are sitting at the table and Bret explains KO was the only participant who said if he wins he'll choose the winged eagle which is a belt that Bret didn't technically lose when he last held it. And he's honoured that KO has carried on the Owen name and given that he's from Montreal he's the right person to fill that void moving forward. Wweshop then sells dual signed winged eagles by KO & Bret. RKO has every reason to wanna fued with KO and it would be good guy vs. good guy which is rare however Seth & Punk are both good guys themselves.
Holy Zeus I am now more invested in the Cody vs Kevin story at first I didn’t real care and thought that KO was just wanting to win the title but now you have open my eyes and I would be rooting for KO.
you should do a comparison of drew's arc and kevin's arc. are they the same and they're about to make an alliance or are they gonna stay on separate brands
KO's arc is more deeper against both the Bloodline and the judgement day. KO has literally fought Roman four times during his tribal chief run and has also fought Roman in tag team matches like sami and Ko vs solo and roman, ko and otis vs roman and jey, ko snd cena vs roman and sami and also ko was the guy who also had war games match against sami, ko also interfered in roman and seth's feud too
emmmm.... drew was occupied with world title business + cm punk KO literally had a feud with them right after wrestlemania the new bloodline is also standing up to the OG bloodline even currently the enemy of my enemy is my "friend" the OG bloodline is the reason new bloodline even exist solo is the leader of this group and solo was brought by roman so its his fault too
@Laonaadoo people trying to compare ko trying to sabotage Roman getting his ulafala to Cody teaming up with Roman after he no longer had to deal with new bloodline are just daft. There is levels to this stuff
So Sami gave chair shot to Roman for KO and later joined him back for bloodline 2.0. KO is clear irrespective of any stables he is against bloodline 1,2,3..... Just that WWE do not see him as main event player. I doubt he'll ever be WWE/World champion ever.
12:06 i’m sure that 1 Day Cody Rhodes is gonna Turn Heel and become everything he was destined to destroy with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 and if you think about it maybe everything that happen at WrestleMania did not solve everything maybe after WrestleMania 40 thing got really worst then we thought.
Correction: Sami Zayn was not manipulated into the Bloodline, Sami Zayn pushed his way into the Bloodline which caused Roman to start manipulating Sami to see where he was really coming from, hence the Tribal Trial. And let's not forget the countless times Kevin Owens turned on Sami Zayn over the years.
And we're talking about how Kevin Owens was tormented by Roman Reigns for years??? That was only a or so at best honestly. How about all the torment Roman experienced from everybody, including Kevin Owens for years before becoming the Tribal chief?
I’d rather watch Kevin Owens vs himself for the rest of my life than ever be forced to sit through more Bloodline crap or judgment day embarrassment… 😂
I knew it kevin is right.I think Roman or Cody is hypocrite. I see someone in comment on other videos saying Kevin is crybabies and being jealous of Cody.
I want kevin to hold a championship so bad and go on another world title reign as a heel .
Same
Absolutely same . The fact that he hasn't even held a midcard title for 8 years is fascinating
Because he looks like a fan, he’s not championship material. He flips flops between heel and face over and over.
@@President_Shin flip flops being heel and a face lol? Do you even know when was he a heel the last time?

Babyface Kevin vs Homelander Cody would be a huge plot twist for sure
Homelander is the hero of the people who will do anything it takes to get what he wants. Who do u think is acting like that? Yeah that's right, Cody. He teamed up with Roman to make himself look like the champion of the people.Codylander is coming out piece by peace.

That would be fire
Add Seth to the mix
Only if Kevin is the leader of the group and he wins the undisputed world championship. Drew and Seth can win the tag team gold
Add seth also
That would be interesting
I used to always say 'the best heels are right.' Now I say 'the best heels are damaged.' Kevin is both.

Bro thats a great quote 🔥.
Facts 💯
Man K.O. deserves a championship run again, he deserves it.
Fact. Nothing but pure fact!
Absolute fact. More than anybody he deserves it . Roman and Seth don't need to win it anymore . They have already buried the roster before and have won championships more than four times . Guys like Kevin Owens , Sami Zayn and la knight need to win the world championship . Cody can retain it back too . But no Roman and Seth . There time is up as champions
And I want Sami Zayn to dethrone him if that happens.
and also drew mcintyre said the same thing
@@blacksmoke6292 that would be great to see as well
One of the few guys I liked during 2015-2019 WWE was KO. Him and Jericho were comedy gold during those times.
If it wasn't for KO there would be no Sami chair shot at the Rumble which was what made me start following WWE in the first place.
I love the idea of making Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre never forgets how they had suffer from the Bloodline way back few years ago. It makes realistic as a man.
Pretty Deadly vs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn was underrated feud
Owens is basically the 4th wall breakin gimmick
It's not just Roman Reigns being given instant redemption without suffering the consequences of his actions (like losing matches as he no longer has outside interference to aid him): Rhea Ripley was given fan support despite being responsible for turning Dominik Mysterio against his family and backstabbing Liv Morgan ... was hoping during her face turn she'd ask Rey for help only for Rey to remind her what she did and for the first time in his life says "Go F*** Yourself" to Rhea. A shame babyfaces can't seem to get revenge without the fans turning on them nowadays (Just ask Wardlow after MJF betrayed him).
Fans are fickle. They ignore all the terrible crap Rhea and Roman pulled because they are "cool".
I suddenly remembered what HHH said about wrestling is a reflection of reality and perhaps this might be one good example... as a society, we set a unrealistic high standard for a good guy and super low for a bad guys. which means, if a bad guys do a good thing once, he'd be called a hero and vice versa.
“Suffering consequences” just sounds like a thinly veiled vengeance for the vindictive ego. Sorry sweetie, life doesn’t work that way.
@@tayojones9460Boo hoo

Its funny because Sami used to be a conspiracy theorist too
Dont let this fool u from the fact that Rhea Ripley started her feud buy injuring liv but know we cheer her like she did nothing
Exactly I hate how WWE made her the hero when she started the whole beef in the first place. Liv was justified in everything that she did.
It's funny to me how WWE's best heels at the moment all have great motivations
- KO is just right
- Liv was rightfully angry at Rhea for not only injuring her, but betraying her way back when she joined the Judgement day
- Finn is mad that Damian cost him all of his title shots and then acted like he was better than him when he got the title
- Drew has been on a downward spiral ever since the bloodline ruined his moment and Cody welcomed Jey to raw as if nothing happened
Meanwhile the biggest babyfaces like Rhea and Cody (or even Seth Rollins to an extent) are basically acting like heels but with a big smile on their faces and people are cheering so hard for them lmao
We? Dom did nothing wrong, and Liv was justified in her revenge.
"Roman Reigns is playing chess" - Drew McIntyre. I want to see a McIntyre-Owens team so bad
just imagine a team up of Kevin, Drew and Seth
That might happen soon. Or at the very least Drew and Kevin will team up
I was thinking Drew, Solo & Seth.
After everything Kevin has been through, he has earned one run with the wwe championship.
What an amazing video essay! Such an amazing deep dive into years of television. Thanks for the great work!
This is the video I needed because "KO is right!!" I have been feeling like I am the only one who has seen this. Everyone I know seems to think KO is a villain, but he's not.
Ko vs seth rollins rivarly in 2019 was the greatest rivarly i have witnessed
That was a badass rivalry tbh. That messiah gimmick was underrated and their chemistry
KO falling in line would be the ultimate tragedy and fitting of the era.
Dude this video would be perfect on WWE to bolster this fued
tell papa H to hit me up, we can work something out LOL
@@Wrestleologybro really this could be such a great storyline. This angle is interesting
Kevin Owen's deserves to END the story
I really want to see a Cody heel turn before the end of 2025
Let’s also not forget; prior to the Bloodline saga, Kevin Owens was right about Shane McMahon. We’ve seen their feuds during 2017-2018 and mid-2019.
True both feuds were great
Shane as babyface and KO as heel and KO as babyface and Shane as heel
So, He is basically Deadpool of this world, who knows he is just a character and how every character in this world is controlled by writers and how everything moves.
kevin not only fight bloodline when he was in raw he continuously fight against judgement day too , he has been always against the top heel of respective shows not some middle man

Why is it that Owen’s is always in big fueds in December and January lol
Drew McIntyre has been saying the same thing as well. I would love to see KO and McIntyre join forces
they ve been kinda hinting towards it

What a fun watch.
One thing I don't understand about this storyline is the fact that KO and McIntyre have not attacked "The New Bloodline"
They have . New bloodline is lesser evil i. KO and drews eyes cause rhey dont have the influence of Roman. They beat them
emmmm.... drew was occupied with world title business + cm punk
KO literally had a feud with them right after wrestlemania
the new bloodline is also standing up to the OG bloodline even currently
the enemy of my enemy is my "friend"
the OG bloodline is the reason new bloodline even exist

KO was right.
And yeah, I'd love to see him beat Codelander.
It's been a decade now, and kevin still hasn't become a world heavyweight champion
He deserves to win the title
I mean KO has won the universal championship but it was 8 years ago. Sami hasnt won it though
@ak.v7 I agree
KO is the modern day steve austin
Song in the beginning?
I understand Kevin Owens
I love Roman & Kevin Owens they always put on a show for me
I know who threw the pie!
Kevin Owens is the reason why I watch WWE
Kevin is fed up of being cheated of titles
They really turn that Paul Heyman botch into a story!
kevin is blessed with the immunity from the 3 month rule virus that infected almost every other superstar
Bloodline shit has jumped the shark just as Owens is being more compelling again.
Thank God

I wanna see Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayne at Mania for the world championship
American culture has always been about siding with the bad guy who looks like the good guy. The storyline checks out.
I want him to win with cody but he wont
We thought the Winged Eagle belt was for "one night only" too, and look where we are now.
If he was so frustrated he should’ve just kelp attacking the blood line not turn on the people who are fighting them too
"Codys gotta finish his story wahhhh"
Roman was never the bad guy it was just Kevin Owen's..!!😒Let's look back to 2017 when Kevin was Universal Champion
That's way removed from The Bloodline stuff.
@mr.awesome6011 But when Roman Reigns was introducing the "Tribal Chief" gimmick he was looking for vengeance to the whole WWE Roster..!!😒
Now this is something AEW lacks
Great storylines that can last for 5 years
I want to see this same video for Drew Mcintyre
