In a recent interview with Metro.co.uk, Kevin Owens shared his admiration for fellow WWE superstar Finn Balor, despite their past rivalry in the ring. The two wrestlers have a long history, dating back to their days in NXT, where Balor dethroned Owens to win the NXT Championship at Beast in the East in Japan. However, their on-screen rivalry has not affected their off-screen friendship, which Owens described as forming quickly.
Owens praised Balor, now a member of The Judgment Day and a heel on WWE television, highlighting the strong bond they developed over the years. Their friendship is a testament to the camaraderie that exists among WWE superstars, often obscured by their on-screen personas.
In the same interview, Owens revealed that he has only nine months left on his current WWE contract, sparking uncertainty about his future in the company. The former Universal Champion expressed doubts about what lies ahead, leaving fans wondering about his plans post-contract expiration.
Meanwhile, Owens was in action at the recent Backlash France Premium Live Event, teaming up with Randy Orton to take on The Bloodline’s Tama Tonga and Solo Sikoa.
However, their night was spoiled by the debuting Tanga Loa, leaving fans eager to see if WWE plans on continuing Owens and Orton’s feud with The Bloodline.
As Owens navigates the remainder of his contract, fans will be keeping a close eye on his storyline developments, particularly in regards to his alliance with Orton and their rivalry with The Bloodline. While his future in WWE remains uncertain, one thing is clear – Owens values the relationships he has formed with his fellow superstars, including his unlikely friendship with Finn Balor.
