NXT Champion Kevin Owens made his debut on the main WWE roster in May, and quickly seized the opportunity. Owens took out United States Champion John Cena, leading to an upcoming Champion vs. Champion matchup between the two at “Elimination Chamber.” Heading into the event, Owens took the time for an appearance on the “PodNasty” wrestling podcast.
Owens, who is slated to appear on “Monday Night Raw” through July, discussed the possibility of being involved in WWE’s annual Money in the Bank Ladder match:
“I have interest in competing in every big event like “Money in the Bank,” or “Elimination Chamber,” or “SummerSlam,” or whatever it is. I want to be part of those shows. I want to be part of that product. That’s where I want to be. So regardless of what match I would be in, whether it be a Money in the Bank Ladder match, or if I was just wrestling anybody on that show, I definitely want to be there. That’s the goal.”
“Absolutely. I think beating John Cena at the Elimination Chamber would probably give me a pretty good shot at being in it. [Money in the Bank Ladder Match] So that’s what I’m thinking about.”
