With the League of Nations establishing themselves as one of the top factions in WWE, fans might be surprised to learn that Kevin Owens was originally slated to be part of the group.
Owens, who was born in Canada, would have been a natural fit for the League, which is comprised of heels born outside of the United States. PWInsider.com reports that WWE writers had Owens factored in to the stable’s formation last month.
Due to a bad case of the flu, Owens was kept off WWE television the week Del Rio, King Barrett and Rusev sided with Sheamus in his feud with Roman Reigns. By the time the League of Nations had established themselves on television without Owens, it was decided that he wasn’t needed and would probably be better off on his own.
