Kevin Owens addresses his move to SmackDown.
Last night on Friday Night SmackDown, Nick Aldis was revealed as the new GM of SmackDown and after a casual burn on Dominik Mysterio, Aldis introduced who SmackDown had received in exchange for Jey Uso in a trade.
This would turn out to be Kevin Owens, who would march to the ring and hit a stunner on Dominik to a big pop.
In a SmackDown Exclusive, Owens was asked how he planned to celebrate his move to SmackDown.
“Well, actually, it’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow. So I’m going to fly back to Canada and go spend the day with her, which is lovely. Without my mom, I wouldn’t be here, literally because she gave birth to me, but also her support throughout my career. I needed it. Without her, I wouldn’t be here. So it’s great to get to go celebrate my move to SmackDown by spending my mom’s birthday with her. So that’s it, really. Just gonna go home and spend some time with my mom,”
“Actually, I would say it’s pretty close to that. She constantly tells me how annoying she thinks Dominik is. Really, really, really does not like Rhea as well. Rhea is always on my case. Although look, I’m on SmackDown now, so hopefully she won’t be around so much. But Dominik showed up for no reason today, so you never know. I’m actually surprised Rhea let him out of the house. But anyway, look, I’m excited to be on SmackDown. It’s bittersweet. My tag team partner and friend Sami Zayn is still on Raw, so I think that effectively ends our partnership, for now anyway. So that’s kind of a hard one to take, but what can you do? I’m here on SmackDown. I’m gonna make the best of it,”
Kevin Owens
We will have to wait and see what Kevin Owens will get up to on SmackDown in the coming weeks, but with Jey Uso able to jump from brand to brand, we likely have not seen the last of their story.
