Kevin Owens is desperate to perform at WrestleMania in Dallas
WWE Superstar Kevin Owens has expressed his desire to compete at Wrestlemania 38 this year in Dallas, Texas.
The former NXT and Universal Champion has been with the WWE since 2014 and has carved out an impressive career in that time. KO has been featured at various Wrestlemanias, facing off against superstars like Daniel Bryan, Shane McMahon and Seth Rollins.
However, with WrestleMania fast approaching, Owens finds himself on the fringes of most of WWE's high-profile storylines. With this in mind, Kevin Owens spoke to Sarah Schrieber in WWE RAW exclusive, where he detailed his desire to be on The Show of Shows this year. He emphasized his love of the host state, Texas and stated that he's thinking about moving there.
"I can't fathom not going to WrestleMania in Dallas in Texas, this, I can't, but I love Texas," said Owens. "I mean, it from the bottom, my heart, I'm thinking about buying a house there, moving my family there, I, I can't get enough of that state." Owens added: "I just I can't, I, I can't not be in Dallas for WrestleMania. I can't." [from 0:50-1:06 & 1:42-1:48]
