At this past Tuesday’s Smackdown Live event, Kevin Owens invited a special guest.
Owens invited Josh Ketch to be his guest at the show. Ketch is the fan that alleged he was intimidated at a Ring of Honor taping in Portland, Oregon earlier this month. Ketch stated that after having some words with Velvet Sky and spat upon by Mandy Leon, he was escorted backstage where Bully Ray confronted him alone.
These allegations led to ROH opening up an internal review that was supposed to be settled quickly, but they stated days later that the investigation was ongoing. There has been no word since on the outcome of the investigation.
Ketch stated that Owens reached out to him on Twitter via Direct Message and shared his frustration about what happened. Owens then invited him to the show in Portland and left him front row seats.
After the “incident” a couple weeks ago I had an outpour of support from friends and strangers alike.
Nothing made me more confident knowing that when things go south, you guys have my back and I appreciated that more than anything

I was completely taken back and had to look for that blue little checkmark because I for sure thought this was a fake account. I’ve never had any interaction with him, but he was reaching out of the kindness of his heart
THAT is the measure of a man

I had more fun tonight at the show than I have in a very long time. I’m humbled and grateful by the generosity of an absolute stranger.
Never stop being there for each other. Never stop taking the high road. Never stop being the better man. Thank you @FightOwensFight pic.twitter.com/fzL9ljUlwe
