Kevin Owens recalls Juice Robinson breaking his nose during his WWE debut
WWE recently posted a bonus clip of Kevin Owens’ WWE Chronicle episode on their YouTube channel. In the clip, Owens opened up about his WWE debut and how he felt backstage before that:
I remember this moment quite specifically. So the music plays, but nobody knows it’s my music. Even before that, like right before the show started, you know they have the ‘Then, Now, Forever’ image, I looked at that. It really rocked me because I’d seen that image so many times, and now I knew I was going to be on the show it was airing for. I just remember thinking, this is fifteen years, and now we’re here, finally. Because it felt like it took forever to get there, but at the same time, it’s probably just the way it should have been.
Kevin Owens went on to talk about his debut match with Juice Robinson (CJ Parker) and how he got a broken nose. KO also revealed that the broken nose led to him becoming close friends with the current NJPW star:
And then CJ Parker came out and broke my nose. And that made us very good friends. I actually texted him not even 20, 30 minutes ago saying he broke my nose six years ago today and stole my heart. H / T: WrestlingINC
Kevin Owens recently had a falling out with Roman Reigns on SmackDown. Unfortunately, the numbers game turns out to be Owens too much, with Jey Uso constantly interfering with his matches against Reigns. Uso also got involved in KO’s games on the TLC PPV and SmackDown last Friday, which cost Owens the title in both games.
We don’t know yet if Owens’ feud with Roman Reigns is over. Paul Heyman sent a message to Kevin Owens on Talking Smack this week. You can check that out HERE.
