Kevin Owens Says Randy Orton is Truly a Leader – In recent weeks, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton have joined forces in a heated feud against The Bloodline. Their alliance was put to the test at WWE Backlash France when they squared off against Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga. However, the surprise debut of Tonga Loa turned the tide in favor of The Bloodline, leading to their victory.
During an appearance on WWE’s The Bump, Owens reflected on the electrifying atmosphere at WWE Backlash, Kevin Owens expressed his appreciation for the passionate crowd and noted the special moment when fans showed their support for Randy Orton.
“The most amazing part for me was actually seeing the love and respect they showed Randy [Orton]. Not to dwell on it, but Randy is somebody I’ve looked up to for so long, even before I even got to WWE as an aspiring wrestler. Then once I got here, someone who, in my opinion, is exactly what a veteran should be and what we should all aspire to be, as far as an example in the locker room. Wasn’t always perfect in his younger years, but he readily admits to it, owns up to the mistakes he’s made. He’s truly a leader, without wanting to be one, without saying he’s a leader. He doesn’t have to say he’s a locker room leader, he just is. To me, he’s been, as beloved as he is, because he really is, it’s still not enough in my opinion. To see the reception those fans gave him, and to see that after all these years doing this, because he’s been here a very, very long time, and he’s lived some really amazing things in his career, to see him get…he was soaking it in, and I could tell it meant a lot to him. That made me almost a little emotional, honestly, before the match started, when he was coming out. I could see it meant a lot to him, and yeah, that was a really special moment. That’s what I take away the most from that whole thing, and the fans, they were incredible all night, but what they did for Randy, giving him the love and respect he deserves, that was really cool,” Owens said.
Recently, Owens shared his thoughts on the intense rivalry with The Bloodline. Meanwhile, Randy Orton has voiced his desire to continue wrestling until he reaches the age of 50.
