Backstage Interview: Kevin Owens

Tom Philips is backstage with Kevin Owens. Owens is laughing and tells Philips to get to the point. Philips mentions Rollins beat him on RAW. Owens says Rollins wasn’t a real winner coming out of Monday night. Rollins is broken, not a winner. In a match that lasted 700 seconds, Rollins had him for 3 of them. Rollins spent that entire night curled up in a ball in pain for the whole night. The last time he powerbombed someone on the apron was John Cena. It took Cena weeks to come back. Rollins is disregarding the advice of doctors to fight him. Rollins wants to prove he’s the man, but that’s just not going to happen. What he does to Rollins in the Cell is going to make Reigns versus Rusev look like a cakewalk. Owens said he’d leave a scar on Rollins and everyone watching. When he’s done with him tonight, he won’t be able to call himself “the man” because he will not look like one. You can call Rollins lots of things after this match, but not “winner.” Owens says you can refer to him as “champion” after tonight, which means he’s “the man.”
