Kevin Owens was recently interviewed by the Wrap. This was in order to promote his WWE Championship match against Kofi Kingston at Money in the Bank.
During the interview, Owens shared his thoughts on WWE turning him heel so quickly.
Here is what he said:
“I wish I would have been able to stay on the other side of the fence a little longer, to be honest. I don’t think anybody’s really seen me as a babyface ever, or, like, the way that I envision myself being. I don’t think people have any idea what I can do on the other side. But, you know, what’s done is done.
If I’m gonna speak candidly about it, I would have done it differently. I would have turned on Kofi differently at a different time. .
I ended up being wrong because once I did it, I knew that was the right time and place.
You know the movie ‘The Village’? The M. Night Shyamalan movie? I watched that movie and the ending blew me away. And afterwards, I had so many people tell me, ‘Oh, I saw it coming, I called it.’ You’re full of it, there’s no way you called that. It’s the same thing here. You knew there was gonna be some sort of swerve but there’s no way– I really don’t think people expected it to be that quick.
What really made it more effective is how much people like Kofi.
How do you feel about WWE turning Owens heel? Let me know in the comment section below.
