Hey Ricky: Details On Kevin Owens' Surprise Partner On SmackDown
09/15/2024 03:41 AM
That’s him? While WWE and AEW are the most well known wrestling promotions in the country, there are several other wrestlers out there who are not signed to one of the major promotions. This may be in spite of being incredibly talented, which means getting a chance on the big stage can be a special moment. That appears to be the case again, as an independent star made a surprise appearance on WWE TV.

This week on SmackDown, Kevin Owns was scheduled to face A-Town Down Under with the help of a mystery partner. Owens’ partner was said to not be there in person, resulting in a wrestler named “Ricky” taking the spot instead. According to 411mania.com, the wrestler was independent star Ricky Gibson, who wrestles as part of the tag team Midnight Heat. Randy Orton wound up being Owens’ partner instead, with Owens giving Ricky a Stunner before the match.
It was a tricky situation. Check out the segment, plus more mystery partners:

Opinion: The whole segment was a lot of fun and that is all it was supposed to be. Orton being the partner in the end was a fun way to go but having it come after Ricky showed up made it even better. There is nothing wrong with having a bit of fun in a segment like this and WWE was certainly not trying to do anything more than have a good time with the whole thing.
