Kevin Owens Is Determined To Give Fans Things To Remember Him By In The Remaining Years Of His Career
Kevin Owens discusses how he wants fans to remember him by in the last years of his wrestling career.
Owens is currently one half of the WWE undisputed tag team champions and is dealing with a legitimate rib injury. Kevin is signed to the company for another year and a half at least, and does not seem to want to be anywhere else once his deal does expire.
Speaking to Jan Murphy of the Toronto Sun, Owens commented on his future in wrestling, noting that he doesn’t want to be anywhere else.
“That’s a great question,” he said when asked what’s left for him to accomplish. “I really don’t know. I used to say I don’t see myself not being in the ring for another five to 10 years. And if I said it right now, I’d be lying because over the last few months, I have to admit, I don’t know if that’s true anymore. I look at things and I don’t know where I stand going beyond the next year and a half. I know I want to be involved in wrestling. I know I want to be involved in the WWE and I know I have a place here. I just don’t know where it is exactly. Maybe it’s still in the ring, maybe it’s not. I don’t know.”
He continued, “I think for the next year and a half, my focus is just on enjoying everything I do as much as possible. There’s not really a worry about winning a title or main-eventing WrestleMania or any of that stuff anymore, which are the dreams that everybody has because I’ve been so blessed and I’ve gotten to do all of that. So I just want to have fun and I want to give people fun times to remember me by. Whether this is the end for my wrestling, I don’t know and I don’t want to sound dramatic, I don’t want to say this is a retirement speech or anything because I might still be wrestling for 10 years. I have no idea. My thought process right now is just to try to enjoy the next year and a half as much as I possibly can because I don’t know what’s on the other side. That’s really all I’m worrying about.”
