Kevin Owens: “…I Can Get People to Cheer For Me If I Want”

Kevin Owens was recently interviewed by Argus Leader to promote the “Smackdown Live” event happening on September 5, 2017, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He discussed a number of topics, including his love for the business, if he could get fans to cheer him and more.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On being a WWE Superstar:

“I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else,” Owens said. “To share the time in the ring with them or spend time in the locker room, there’s really no way to describe how cool that is.”

On working with Chris Jericho:

“It was a thrill obviously to be in the ring with him, or for promos,” Owens said. “Our relationship in the past brought good television. We were randomly paired up for one Smackdown once, and Vince really liked us together, so he decided to keep doing it. We ad-libbed some stuff at liberty as far as how we were directed, and we just let our natural ability take the lead.”

On becoming a face:

“I don’t really know as far as any ideas or plans that anybody would have for that,” Owens said. “I think I can make anything work. If I can get people to boo me, then I can get people to cheer for me if I want. I’d be up for the challenge.”

On having freedom in his promos:

“I’m sure other performers get different guidelines, and I think it’s a day-by-day scenario of who gets to have more freedom than other people,” Owens said. “We always get help with our interviews from our writers, but you learn to find ways to get your own credits instead of using somebody else’s words. Some people are good at it, and other people aren’t as good. But the people who are good at it usually get more leeway of how to speak and what to say because the fact they can carry an interview.

“I always know where I’m going, and I know what they want me to deliver. But I do get to put my own spin on it most of the time.”

He also discusses his time in NXT, the “Face of America” gimmick and more.
