Kevin Owens breaks silence after his Royal Rumble match ends unceremoniously
WWE star Kevin Owens recently spoke about losing his United States Championship match against Logan Paul under questionable circumstances.
Owens was determined to take down the US Champ this week at the Rumble. However, things descended into chaos when The Maverick got hold of a pair of brass knuckles thanks to Austin Theory. KO caught hold of the weapon, but the referee saw it and called off the match, resulting in a disqualification.
KO spoke with Cathy Kelley after the match during an exclusive interview for WWE. He claimed that with the way the encounter ended, there would be a rematch between the two. Owens was irate and claimed that he would grab the title the next time the two stars would collide in the ring.
"I hope Logan Paul knows, I'm coming for a rematch. There's no way things can end this way. First of all, he brought in the brass knuckles. In French, that's called a 'poing américain' which literally translates meaning American Fist, which is appropriate because he's the United States Champion. Doesn't do anything by the book, brings in American Fists, in trying to retain the US title," said Owens.
He continued:
"Next time I get Logan Paul in the ring and that title is on the line, I'm winning that championship. I should be champion." [From 0:01 - 0:47]
