WWE News: Kevin Owens reveals how John Cena and Randy Orton helped him in the dressing room and discusses positives from brand extension

Kevin Owens is a former NXT Champion.

WWE Superstar Kevin Owens spoke to reporters in an international teleconference to promote SummerSlam, WWE’s next big event, coming up on August 21 from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The Canadian superstar made a name for himself when he defeated John Cena at Elimination Chamber last year. Since then, Kevin Owens has gone on to become a two-time intercontinental champion and has been a part of memorable feuds with Dean Ambrose and Sami Zayn amongst others.

When asked about being a main eventer, Owens replied that he was ready for the main event scene and conveyed to reporters that he had yet to main event a pay-per-view and that bothered him. He was confident of working hard and changing that before the end of the year.

Owens was vocal about those who helped him in the locker room and helped him settle in. He said, “I found a lot help from John Cena and Randy Orton just from observing them. I am pretty confident with how I do things in the ring, but as far as to how you carry yourself as a WWE Superstar I think I have looked at how they do things and I guess I have taken from them how, as a general rule of thumb, to be outside the ring as they have been here a long time and obviously are good examples. They are good representatives of the company and that is who I have taken from."

Owens also expressed his opinions on the recent brand split. Owens who was drafted to RAW  said: "Probably the fact now that some wrestlers won’t face each other for a while is the main thing, and that is good.” He said that he faced Ziggler and Ambrose on a number of occasions in the past and despite enjoying his time in the ring with these two, he feels that the programme was getting repetitive. 

"I think as a fan, and that is one thing I would say I still am because I watch every Raw and everything else still, that makes me excited because I am going to see different guys on different shows and different matches that I haven't seen before or haven't necessarily seen in a long time. But then a year or two down the line some people from Raw are going to end up on SmackDown, some people from SmackDown are going to end up on Raw and some people from NXT are going to end up on Raw and SmackDown. Things are going to keep rotating. I might end up in the ring with Ambrose again. It might be two years down the line, but we have both grown as performers and grown as individuals and it is a different match", Owens said.
