Going back to February 2017, Kevin Owens was the WWE Universal Champion at the time and defended the title against Goldberg at WWE Fastlane. Owens lost the championship to Goldberg in a typical Goldberg style “squash match”.
When interviewed by Metro UK, Owens commented on the possibility of a rematch with Goldberg in 2021.
“I’d love to work with him again if he was here to work,” Owens said. “I’m not saying this is his fault, but he’s not – his career has never been about long matches or anything like that. ‘To me, I don’t see much positive out of wrestling him for two minutes, or 20 seconds or 30 seconds or whatever, you know what I mean? I’d love to work with him again if you got to do a story beyond – all we did was, what, two weeks, maybe three weeks? If we got to do some cool stuff, and some cool promos, exchange back and forth, and then have a quality match, that’d be great. But that’s just not usually what he’s here for.”
Owens also said he wasn’t interested in Goldberg’s in-ring style.
“Look, it works,” Owens said. “I’m not saying anything against that, it’s just not what I’m interested in. As a fan, I’ve never been interested in that stuff. Even when he was in WCW, I didn’t really like it. That’s just not what I look for in my wrestling.”
Kevin Owens will challenge current WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns this Sunday at WWE TLC.
