Kevin Owens on Vince McMahon's original plans for WrestleMania 34
Kevin Owens had an interview via Zoom earlier today. On the call, the former Universal Champion spoke about his intentions and plans in the WWE. During his call, Kevin Owens revealed that the WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was to team up with his son Shane McMahon to face the team of Owens and Sami Zayn.
Kevin Owens shared that the above match was initially planned for WrestleMania 34. However, the match didn't come to fruition and the WWE Universe got a Tag Team match between the teams of Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. The match marked the in-ring return of Daniel Bryan after he had retired from in-ring action due to a neck injury.
The last time the WWE Universe saw the Chairman in action was in 2012. Vince McMahon went one-on-one with CM Punk on an episode of WWE RAW. The match never began as the two men beat each other senseless with kendo sticks and anything else they found. At the end of the night it was Vince McMahon who had the last laugh when Ryback and John Cena attacked Punk, forcing him to slip away through the crowds.
At TLC in a few weeks, Kevin Owens is set to face Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship. The two have been pushing each other to their limits each week of WWE SmackDown.
