Kevin Owens Talks Wanting Reactions Like John Cena, Enzo Amore Inspiring His WWE Gear, Jim Cornette

Recently on Talk Is Jericho, WWE’s Universal Champion, Kevin Owens discussed a number of topics including Jim Cornette’s criticism of the so-called ‘Prizefighter’ and his relationship with WWE’s creative staff, Kevin Kelly comparing him to the likes of professional wrestling legends Steve Austin and The Rock, how he used injured WWE Superstar Finn Bálor’s body paint in his entrance video, and how he hopes to garner intense mixed reactions from crowds akin to the 15-time world champion, John Cena.

The so-called ‘Prizefighter’ stated that he has a good relationship with WWE’s creative personnel.
“Honestly, from the moment I got here, people like producers, even the writers, everybody, I really feel like I had a really good relationship with everyone.” Owens continued, “I really haven’t had any encounters where my bad attitude would take over.”
The master of the pop-up powerbomb indicated that he felt comfortable in his attitude in part because Kevin Kelly told him that Steve Austin and The Rock would also ask to redo segments that did not come off as they would have liked.
“Actually, it was Kevin Kelly, I’lll say, I might put some blame on Kevin Kelly here, but I remember, yes, Kevin Kelly came into Ring Of Honor to do commentary and kind of work behind the scenes as well. And I remember him telling me …
