WWE star Kevin Owens recently spoke with Mike Jones of DC 101 to hype this weekend’s WWE live event in Fairfax, Virginia. Below are some highlights:
Finn Balor and Samoa Joe coming up to the WWE main roster:
“I think there’s a lot of people in NXT that are right on the cusp of being ready to come and make an impact on the main roster. Joe, Finn, Hideo Itami, when he’s healthy cause he’s still hurt right now, Enzo and Big Cass, who are probably my favorites in NXT right now, and that’s just to name a few.”
NXT preparing you for WWE:
“That’s the thing about NXT and the way they built NXT is it’s so good to get you ready for that moment. Triple H built it with that in mind, that once you get that opportunity you nail it and knock it out of the park. He did everything he could to make NXT basically a smaller version of RAW.”
Still having those “OH WOW” moments:
“It’s happened to me several times over the past few months and it still happens. I get in the elevator and it’s just me in the elevator, I’ll find myself staring at the reflection and thinking ‘How did you get here’ and it’s a way of reminding myself that this is what I’ve been waiting for forever.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
