Kevin Owens was recently interviewed by Chuck Carroll of CBS Local Sports prior to Summerslam. During the interview, Owens was asked who he would want to face at Wrestlemania 35 if it was up to him.
It turns out that Owens wants to face an old rival and someone who he is really close to outside of the ring.
Here is what Owens said:
“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.”
Owens continued:
“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.”
