One-half of the current Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens spoke with the Toronto Sun on a variety of topics including headlining WrestleMania two years in a row. He said that he can’t put into words what those two nights meant to him, and most especially the night he faced WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
Owens said, “I talk about those moments a lot because I get asked about them a lot. And every single time I say the same thing and it sounds kind of redundant, but I just can’t put that into words what those two nights meant to me, the Stone Cold one especially. As far as saying that Sami and I would win our first WWE tag team titles in the main event of WrestleMania, I guess that was still somewhat of a fleeting possibility through the years, but Stone Cold coming back after 19 years, nobody would have called that. I feel like there is a threshold or something like that where once somebody’s been retired for long enough, you think, ‘OK, they’re really never coming back.’ I think 19 years is well past that point.”
Owens also spoke about how he’s very happy and grateful that he got to face Austin with his family in the crowd as well as how it was very special for him, being a diehard fan of Austin his entire life.
“He did it. He did it and he killed it and I was, somehow, some way, lucky enough to be the one he did it with. I don’t know what I did to get there and I don’t know what I did to deserve that, but I’m very happy it was me and I’m just so grateful I got to do that with my family in the crowd and I got to share that with them and everybody in that stadium. As special as that moment was for the people watching it, it was special for me, a diehard Stone Cold fan my entire life. He was my favourite.”
