Something has to happen for him to have a reason to relinquish the title and prefer the US strap.
Cena wins at MitB and Owens is irate on Raw, his son was full of "I told you so's" and he can't stand that his son sees Cena as a hero and not the dad who has wrestled all over the world to provide for him. He knows he is better and wants one last shot.
Vince comes out and says that he has been impressed, but as far as he is concerned, while he has the NXT title, he is not fully his property and he cannot let him chase his titles unless he relinquishes NXT. So its either that, or no shot at Cena and redemption.
Owens agonises for weeks but finally decides that he needs Cena and the US title more, for his own sanity and to prove to the world that he is better, a real hero to his son, and a proper US champ.
He wins it at Battleground and Cena is protected cause of the win at MitB
