To be fair, he did win over one of the best WWE has to offer in the form of <strong>Kevin Owens<\/strong>, albeit in a very controversial fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Paul walked into Alabama with his held high and the title still in hand. Unfortunately for him, even though he\u2019s slain Owens, the \u201cPrized Fighter\u201d is not done with him.<\/p>\n<p>KO showed that he would do whatever it took to wrestle away the gold from Paul, knocking <strong>Grayson Waller<\/strong> and his opponent for the night <strong>Austin Theory<\/strong> with the same brass knuckles that got him disqualified.<\/p>\n<p>Only this time, he didn\u2019t get caught, and now Logan is fully aware of the depths Owens will go to.
