Mark Henry, a renowned AEW star, has lavished praise on WWE’s Kevin Owens for his exceptional performance at WWE Backlash. Henry, known for his keen eye for talent and insightful commentary on the wrestling world, recently shared his thoughts on Owens’ impressive showing in a hard-hitting tag team match.
At WWE Backlash, Owens teamed up with Randy Orton to take on The New Bloodline, consisting of Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga. Although Owens and Orton ultimately lost the match due to interference from the debuting Tanga Loa, Owens’ remarkable performance did not go unnoticed. Henry, speaking on the Busted Open Radio podcast, was effusive in his praise for Owens, acknowledging the WWE superstar’s skill and tenacity in the ring.
What’s more, Henry’s praise comes on the heels of Owens’ recent comments about his friendship with Finn Balor, a fellow wrestler and member of Judgment Day. Despite their in-ring differences, Owens and Balor have forged a strong bond outside the ring, with Owens referring to Balor as a “brother” in a recent interview with Metro.co.uk.
Their friendship serves as a testament to the respect and camaraderie that exists among wrestlers, even when they find themselves on opposite sides of the ring. Henry’s recognition of Owens’ talent and his strong relationships with fellow wrestlers only serves to reinforce his reputation as one of the most respected and accomplished wrestlers in the industry.
It’s clear that Owens’ impressive performance at WWE Backlash has resonated with fans and fellow wrestlers alike, and his friendship with Balor is a heartening reminder of the strong bonds that exist within the wrestling community. With Henry’s praise, Owens’ stock continues to rise, solidifying his position as one of the top wrestlers in the WWE. As the WWE terrain continues to evolve, it’s clear that Owens will remain a force to be reckoned with, both in and out of the ring.
