Kevin Owens is regarded as one of the most unhinged personalities in the wrestling world. Fans love him due to his out-of-the world tactics and shenanigans he implements during his match. Staying true to his character, he outsmarted his opponent during a tag team match against heelish duo Austin Theory and Grayson Waller on SmackDown.
On the latest episode of SmackDown, Kevin Owens found himself in the wrong corner during the match against the former Tag Team Champions. It was a critical situation for him, as he desperately needed to tag in his partner, Randy Orton, who was far away. The Prizefighter made a smart move, got out of the ring, and ran around it to make the hot tag to his partner.
This was one of the rare occasions where a babyface superstar found a loophole to give himself an advantage. The match was set up last week, but Owens was without a partner. Before the match, he came out with an enhancement talent named Ricky to team with him. However, when the 39-year-old star learned that Orton would be joining him, he stunned poor Ricky out of the ring.
After the “smartest” hot tag in history, the match was entirely under the control of the babyface. Owens and Orton secured the victory by hitting their finishing moves on Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. The two stars have teamed up on several occasions since WrestleMania XL, specifically during their fight against The Bloodline.

One fan called it the smartest hot tag ever in WWE history and questioned why other stars hadn’t thought of it before. Another fan jokingly said the 39-year-old star should be disqualified for breaking the rules. Some fans praised Owens for being self-aware and appreciated that he didn’t rely on gimmicks. Here are the top reactions from fans:
One user loved the way The Legend Killer was fired up after the hot tag and how he began attacking his opponents. Another fan even coined a name for the tag, calling it a “running tag.”
