Kevin Owens Talks the WWE Universal Title Being More Important Than the WWE Title, How He Would Surprise Fans Against Brock Lesnar

October 25, 2016

WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens recently spoke with Sky Sports to promote WWE Hell in a Cell and below are some interview highlights:

On the WWE Universal Championship being more important than the WWE Championship:

“I feel the WWE Universal Title is more important that the WWE World Title on Smackdown. Just look at the caliber of the guys vying for the belt and the way it was introduced with Finn Balor, Rusev, Cesaro, myself, Roman Reigns, Chris Jericho, Sami Zayn and Sheamus in contention.”

His ideal WrestleMania opponent:

“Brock Lesnar – I’d love to defend the title against him. A lot of people write off anyone who steps into the ring with Brock and not too many people would give me favorable odds, but I think I would surprise a lot of people by not getting annihilated. What’s important for me, though, is to walk into WrestleMania as champion and leave the same way, because that would be a rare feat.”

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.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.
