On the latest edition of NXT, the WWE Universe saw the return of Kevin Owens. He was back to the Black and Gold brand to host the Kevin Owens show.
The guest on the latest edition of the KO show was NXT North American Champion, Leon Ruff. Owens seemed excited as he claimed he wanted to speak to the champ even before he came to NXT this week.
They were soon interrupted by Johnny Gargano, who yelled that Ruff didn’t beat him and it was some prank. He also claimed to be the real North American Champion, and Ruff still has the championship because of Priest.
