The first time I was in the ring, I wasn't good at it, and I honestly thought, 'Maybe this isn't for me.' Then I went back the next day and the next day and the next day... because I loved it more than anything.
Chris Jericho was always someone I looked up to. I was a WWE fan growing up, and I remember his debut.
Owens may not be my real last name, but it's close as it gets, because it's my son's name, Owen. That's why I picked that name, and Kevin Owens is who I am. I can't stress that enough.
I just know that I have this Universal championship, and I want to make it worth as much as possible, and that's what I'm focusing on.
Sometimes you have chemistry with people that is undeniable, and it just works, and sometimes you have matches with someone you think you are going to have good chemistry with, and it just doesn't turn out that way.
I played hockey until I was 13 or 14 years old.
Cockroaches can't survive me, and neither can Dean Ambrose.
I am not the typical WWE superstar.
I was a wrestling fan long enough, and once in a while, I would get bored. I'd be on board with a superstar and love what he'd do. Then eventually, I would get bored with him. I don't want people to think that way of me, so I'm doing everything I can to make sure it doesn't happen.
I'm well aware that no matter how big of a jerk I am, some people will cheer me, and no matter what I do, some people will boo me, and that's fine. I just need to elicit emotion. That's all I care about.
John Cena and Roman Reigns get insane reactions where half the crowd loves them and half the crowd despises them. When you're in the ring waiting for your opponent, whether it's John or Roman, you get hit by this crazy noise.
I don't know how well it can go when you get thrown off a 20-foot ladder.
You can't choose who your brother is. You're born, and whoever is in your family is your family. That's your blood. That's the way it is.
Honestly, to me, the WWE championship and the Universal championship are the same thing. They're the top championships on the respective brands.
My parents could have told me, when I was 12 years old and telling them I wanted to be a wrestler, that it was silly and to be serious and find something more secure and safe, but they didn't. They pushed me as hard as they could.
When I was 11 years old, I started watching WWE.
Shawn Michaels is the reason I wanted to be a wrestler.
When I signed with WWE and moved to Orlando, my wife and my two kids came with me.
I'm genuine, and I think people can see that when they watch.
If there's something funny to be said, I will say it.
