A report from Fightful Select, reveals WWE reportedly had plans for Kevin Owens to appear on Friday Night SmackDown this past week to deliver another promo to build the feud with Steve Austin. Instead, WWE decided to play a video package of what has gone down between Owens and Austin so far.

The promo WWE originally planned for Owens was produced by Jason Jordan. It remains unclear why it was nixed given the storyline is a high-profile one.

Steve Austin has confirmed he will be at WrestleMania 38 to meet Kevin Owens in the ring for a special episode of the KO Show, streaming on Peacock Network on April 2, 2022.
