– ESPN personality Amin Elhassan made headlines last week for a series of tweets mocking Kevin Owens’ son for being proud of his father winning WWE’s Universal Championship. After a great deal of backlash from wrestling fans and several big names with ties to WWE, Elhassan eventually apologized to Owens and his family. On Monday, RAW General Manager Mick Foley wrote about the situation on Facebook, revealing Kevin Owens’ reaction to the situation:

“What might the future hold for new #WWE #Universal champion Kevin Owens? Man, I was upset about that ESPN guy making Kevin’s son part of an ill-conceived, poorly received joke last week. I was worried that the uproar might ruin that incredible moment for Kevin, but was told that seeing the support from his colleagues in the wake of the uproar only made the victory more meaningful for him.”

– Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura and WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens will be Chris Jericho’s guests this week on the Talk is Jericho podcast.
