KEVIN OWENS BIO

Kevin Owens is an outspoken, Quebec-born brawler who bolts around the ring with equal parts intensity and bad intentions.  Lauded by The Rock and possessing what WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin described as a “hell of an arsenal,” Owens earned many accolades in North America and abroad. During his 14 years as a globetrotting independent grappler, Owens crossed paths and locked horns with men who went on to become WWE Superstars, including Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins and, perhaps most famously, Sami Zayn. After achieving success as one of the world’s top in-ring competitors, Owens made his debut at NXT TakeOver: R Evolution, and captured the NXT Championship only a few months later by annihilating Zayn, his oldest friend. Owens’ mix of ruthlessness, determination and guts followed him to the main roster, where he defeated John Cena in his first match and made it a point to target the biggest, baddest boys in the yard. Since then, he’s taken on everyone from Roman Reigns to Shane McMahon to Seth Rollins to AJ Styles, amassing the Universal, United States Championship and Intercontinental Championship along the way. In addition to his in-ring prowess, KO has proven himself a master of the mic, whether he’s calling out a Superstar to settle a dispute or regularly hosting his own unpredictable talk show, "The Kevin Owens Show." Above all, Kevin Owens is a fearless competitor with an extraordinary singular belief in himself and his ability. He stands time and time again as a Superstar who will stop at nothing to compete in the best match of the night, whether that mean engaging in Tables, Ladders and Chairs slugfests, awe-inspiring leaps from the top of the WrestleMania sign or taking on multiple Superstars against the odds. KO had arguably his biggest fight of his career, luring WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin out of retirement for a No Holds Barred Match at WrestleMania, main-eventing Night One at The Showcase of the Immortals. At WrestleMania 39, following a longstanding rivalry with The Bloodline, Owens main-evented WrestleMania for the second straight year when he reunited with Zayn to close the book on the epic reign of The Usos and heroically captured the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles in the “Greatest Tag Team Title Match in History."
