Kevin Owens was interviewed by CBS Local and was asked about who he’d like to face at next year’s WrestleMania. Owens revealed that he’d like to face Finn Balor and at the same time, said that Balor has been his “best friend” since they’ve been at the WWE Performance Center in 2014, which I guess means that Sami Zayn is not his “best friend.”
“There’s so many guys I wish I could wrestle, but if it was up to me, whatever I would do would lead to me and Finn Bálor at WrestleMania next year, because he and I came to WWE the exact same time. We didn’t know each other before we got there. We became pretty close pretty quickly when we did get to the NXT Performance Center. He’s been my best friend ever since, so I’d love to share the ring with him on that stage in WrestleMania.
“I love wrestling him and as far as I know he feels the same way. I think we put on really entertaining matches that are very good. We had a match in Japan a few years ago that I still think was one of my best ones in WWE. So, I think we mesh pretty well.”
The interview was done the day before SummerSlam, so Owens hadn’t done the “I quit” storyline yet.
