WWE Fans Slam Director Kevin Dunn Over Randy Orton's Owens Weight Comments

Monday Night Raw started with a segment between Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, Cesaro and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. This was the sort of dream encounter fans never thought would happen but still, it left many with a sour taste in their mouths after Randy Orton took a jab at Owens by asking him if he put on weight. The former NXT Champion answered by simply saying "no." This attack on Owens sent some fans on Twitter into a tizzy and much of the blame was put on WWE director Kevin Dunn. The reason for this is because it's rumored Dunn isn't high on Owens and it was him who told Orton to take the weight jab.

Here are what a few fans had to say. Some fans brought up the issue of body shaming and said the comments were unfair. Others even called for the firing of Dunn if he was the one behind what Orton said.

Why is the @WWE allowing people to fat shame Kevin Owens is beyond me? Goes totally against their walmart product.

Back in July, wrestling reporter Dave Meltzer claimed there were those in WWE who are looking for Kevin Owens to fail. According to him, the higher-ups in WWE are split on the man who beat the golden boy John Cena cleanly at the Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View.

"To again explain this: there were two schools of thought on Kevin Owens from the start and the basic gist was that some people thought that he was going to make it and some people thought he wasn't going to make it, and those who thought he wasn't going to make it made sure that he got every opportunity to make it or else they would be wrong," Meltzer said. "So now whether he makes it or he doesn't make it, there is a game going on and we're in the middle of the game."
