The footage of Kevin Owens being helped to the back from WWE’s non-televised live event (aka house show) in Charleston, South Carolina yesterday (Aug. 30) has been shared in our latest Rumor Roundup and in The Feed. It was taken by local TV sportscaster Kevin Bilodeau, who also posted results and several cool pics from the WWE’s stop at North Charleston Coliseum.
But Bilodeau and others in attendance
also caused pro wrestling fans some anxiety with that video of Owens limping away from the ring while Danhausen does his Cody Rhodes impersonation during some schtick with Rhodes and CM Punk — at least the pro wrestling fans I’m most likely to get along with, which are those who recognize KO’s recognize [wink].
This version shows how Owens may have injured his knee (by kicking Miz in the junk, it looks like), and him selling it in the ring before the Bilodeau’s video started.
And that KO was selling during the match turns out to be key. Because after PWInsider Elite reported that most talent backstage thought he was selling, Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer tweeted “no injury”.
Which is great news, whether or not you’re KO greatness-recognizer.
