Kevin Owens: I’m So Happy That Randy Orton Is Back, He’s Good To Have Around

Kevin Owens is delighted to have Randy Orton back in WWE.

‘The Viper’ made his return to the company at the Survivor Series premium live event, as he teamed with Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, & Sami Zayn in the Men’s WarGames match against the Judgment Day & Drew McIntyre.

Orton followed up his return at Survivor Series with a big win on the following Monday’s episode of Raw, as he defeated NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio in a non title bout.

While speaking to James Williams for a new interview, Owens was asked about Orton’s return to the company.

“I love Randy, I’m so happy he’s back. I think he’s much needed. To me, having him around in the locker room is an absolute positive. Besides the fact that he’s a fantastic performer and a legend, there’s some people that are just good to have around and he’s good to have around. There are people now, which is what I love about our locker room currently, there are people that are leaders without saying, ‘I’m a leader.’ Randy is one of them, so when he’s around, everyone steps up their game because Randy Orton’s here.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Owens commented on CM Punk’s return to the promotion. Fans can learn more here.
