### Early Appearances (2019)

Owens made his WSC debut in the 2019 Royal Rumble at #29, but immediately got eliminated by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Owens then had a match the next night with Austin. Before the match, Owens attacked Austin, which then became a Backstage Brawl. The brawl then took place out to the arena. Sadly, Owens got pinned by Austin with a Stunner on a chair.

### MITB and Hardcore Champion (2020)

Owens then appeared in the first match of 2020, which was the first ever Money in the Bank ladder match along with Ricochet, Jeff Hardy, John Morrison, Adam Cole, and CM Punk. Surprisingly, Owens overcame all the odds and became Mr. Money in The Bank. Legit a minute after The Stage Creator won the WSC Hardcore Championship from Joker Jon Moxley, Owens cashed in his briefcase and pinned Nathan to win his first Hardcore Championship reign.

Owens then had to defend his championship in the second Elimination Chamber Match along with Moxley, John Cena, The Fiend, Matt Riddle, and Morrison. Owens and Morrison starts off the Chamber. Owens starts off hot as he absolutely beats Morrison's ass. Though, when Owens went for a Powerbomb, Morrison counters it and crossbodies Owens off the chain wall. Even though that happened, Owens gained momentum and reversed the Starship Pain. Then, the two went up the top of a pod and Morrison does an epic Hurracinrana off of it. Then Matt Riddle is the first one out of the pod, kicking everyone, but then got Powerbomed by Owens to the chain wall. Morrison then went for a Starship Pain off of a pod, but Owens kicked out. Moxley was the 2nd person let out of his pod. Sadly, Riddle pinned Owens with a Floating Bro off of the structure to the ring, guaranteeing a new champion.

Owens returned in the April 2020 Royal Rumble at #9, but then got eliminated by rival Nathan. Owens then returned again at the November 2020 Royal Rumble *again* at #9 and beated everyone's ass, but then got stopped by Viscera. But, with help from Moxley, Riddle, Seth Rollins, and Triple H, Owens and all of them managed to eliminate Viscera. But later in the match, Owens got eliminated by Batista.

### The Undisputed Era (2021)

Owens returned once again in the first ever WarZone Match along with Triple H, Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Kofi Kingston, Kenny Omega, Keith Lee, and champion Shawn Michaels. During the match, Owens infamously got Sweet Chin Musiced into a bin full of Barb Wire by Michaels and stayed there for the remainder of the match. Triple H eventually won, but lost it 3 minutes later when Nathan cashed in his briefcase.

Owens then had a match with champion Nathan for the championship. Surprisingly, Owens managed to win by TKO Ref Stoppage as Owens seriously injured Nathan's already deformed knee with a steel chair. but during this attack, The Shield reunited and attacked Owens and put him through a chair. This set up a match between Owens and Rollins. Before the match, Jon Moxley and Roman Reigns got attacked when the cameras weren't rolling. It was then revealed that The Undisputed Era were the culprits as they attacked Rollins mid match. But during UE's attack on Rollins, Moxley and Reigns came out to stop them. Unfortunately, Rollins got pinned by Owens regardless, leading Owens to join The Undisputed Era. This set up the first of many Winners-Take-All Matches for the Hardcore AND Tag Team championships between Shield and UE. Eventually, The Shield came out victorious, where Shield retained and Rollins earning his first WSC Hardcore Championship reign.

Owens' next appearance came in the 2021 Royal Rumble at #22 with a Undisputed Era chair, but got stopped by Darby Allin. Riddle joined as Owens got hit with Darby's Skateboard and Riddle's Scooter. Owens later got eliminated by Drew McIntyre.

### Concluding Stage Creator Rivalry (2022)

Owens returned to WSC in August and confronted rival Stage Creator. He wanted a chance to be in the Money in the Bank ladder match again, but Nathan wasn't buying it. Then the smoking gun happened and Owens spat on Nathan's dog, Tibbles. That was it and the two had a qualifying match not too long later. Eventually, Nathan won. But, Nathan offered up his place to Owens so Nathan can focus on CM Punk (which Punk ended up winning).

### WrestleMania (2023-present)

That day came when Owens faced against Drew McIntyre, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bron Breakker, AJ Styles, Sami Zayn, Bobby Lashley, Karrion Kross, Edge, and Johnny Gargano in the Money in the Bank ladder match. Although Owens gave it his all, Styles was the one who ended up winning.

Owens then came back at the 2023 Royal Rumble at #8 and briefly teamed with Zayn in said match. Adam Cole would enter the rumble later and attacks Owens, due to Owens being kicked out of Undisputed Era at a GCW pay-per-view in 2022. Owens would not get any eliminations and would be eliminated by Batista.
