Kevin Owens says seeing the Motor City Machine Guns join WWE was surreal.
The longtime TNA stars finally made their WWE debuts in October, and they quickly won the WWE Tag Team Championship.
In an interview with Cameron Hawkins for Uncrowned, Kevin Owens discussed the Motor City Machine Guns joining WWE, in addition to the success that Bryan Danielson, the Young Bucks, and other stars from the independent scene’s golden years have had.
“I’m not surprised at any of the guys’ success. Even though I will say the Machine Guns joining WWE recently was really surreal,” Owens said, “because it’s almost like we all made it. Many of us from that time all got to the mainstream wrestling level or whatever, but the Guns, the Machine Guns, they had done TNA, but they never got to WWE. I guess you assume after a while, it’s not going to happen. Not because they weren’t good enough.
“Obviously they’ve always been top talent in the wrestling world. But I don’t know, for some reason, sometimes it’s not in the cards or timing, stuff like that. For them to finally end up here, it was pretty crazy. And yet when I see them at ‘SmackDown,’ it’s like, oh yeah, of course those guys are here. It’s like they’ve always been here because they probably should have always been here.”
