Kevin Owens missing last week’s SmackDown taping changed initial plans.
According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the segment with John Cena on SmackDown was changed because Owens was intended to appear on the event but was unable to make it to Chicago due to travel complications. As we reported earlier, Kevin’s situation was described as a “nightmare travel situation.”
The Cena video was supposed to be introduced by Owens when the show’s last promo aired. Of course, that’s not what ended up happening, because the Prize Fighter wasn’t there.
The segment with Cena was changed because Owens was supposed to be on the show but there were travel issues so he didn’t get to Chicago. Owens was originally scheduled to come out during the final promo on the show and introduce the Cena video.
