During a recent interview with Metro UK’s Alistair McGeorge, WWE Superstar Kevin Owens commented on when he found out he’d be involved in a match with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin at WrestleMania 38, how it felt to be the one to get a match with Austin for the first time in 19 years, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his reaction to finding out about the Austin match: “Vince told me a little while ago. My reaction was quiet jubilation because I was in Vince’s office, but I may have said a few swear words to him – positively [swearing]! It was really surreal. It’s funny, ’cause I was a fan of his from the start. He came in as the Ringmaster, and even he would probably say it wasn’t a great time in his career. I loved him as The Ringmaster! And then he became Stone Cold and he was on another level.”
On getting the chance to face Austin for his first match in 19 years: “To get to be the one to do it, there’s a lot of very talented and competent WWE superstars out there. For me to be the one in this situation, it’s a huge honor and I don’t take it lightly.”
