– Tonight’s SmackDown main event saw Kevin Owens and Kofi Kingston defeat WWE Champion Daniel Bryan and Rowan in tag team action.
This came after Vince McMahon pulled Kofi from the WWE Title match at Fastlane, replacing him with the returning Owens. The match ended when Owens hit a Stunner on Bryan for the pin.
Owens previously used a Stunner on Seth Rollins during an August 2018 RAW match. Austin wrote on Twitter that the move was “very interesting” and he later knocked Owens’ Stunner after he used it during the 2017 Royal Rumble pay-per-view against Roman Reigns, writing, “Damn. I guess I gotta teach @FightOwensFight how to do a GD Stone Cold Stunner. Put some stink on it, kid.” Austin would also speak about the move on his podcast, but he’s been vocal about being a fan of Owens.
Owens took to Twitter after tonight’s SmackDown win and tweeted Austin, saying he finally figured out how to execute the Stone Cold Stunner. He wrote, “Hey @steveaustinBSR, I finally figured it out!”

– As noted, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon announced on tonight’s SmackDown from Atlanta that the returning Kevin Owens will be replacing Kofi Kingston in the match with WWE Champion Daniel Bryan on March 10 at WWE Fastlane.
WWE fans immediately took to Twitter to express frustration with the shocking change. Kofi’s partners in The New Day also tweeted about the decision.
Xavier Woods wrote, “So what else does @TrueKofi have to do? He’s a multi-time champion. He’s given 11 amazing years to this company. He’s pinned the @wwe champion. Kofi is more than good enough. Kofi is more than worthy. What else do you want from him? WHAT ELSE?”
Big E wrote, “I don’t even know why we’re surprised anymore.”
