Back in May of 2015 then-NXT Champion Kevin Owens made his WWE main roster debut by answering John Cena’s United States Championship open challenge. Owens made quite the impression on the WWE Universe by laying out Cena and stomping on the United States Championship. Owens recently did an interview on Chris Jericho’s podcast, Talk Is Jericho, to talk about the debut.
Owens shared his first conversation with Vince McMahon backstage before the debut, and it was hilarious. McMahon didn’t want the other wrestlers to know what “KO” was doing at the show, and Owens wasn’t exactly sure how to accomplish this. When Owens asked McMahon for advice, his response was priceless. Here’s their exchange as described by Owens:
Kevin: “You want me in my gear right?”
Vince: “Yup.”
Owens: “When I put my gear on, and I walk in the locker room and stuff, and in the hallway, the other wrestlers will see me and ask me why I have my gear on. So, what should I tell them?”
Vince: “Well, why don’t you just tell them to go f**k themselves.”
