Kevin Owens Gives An Update On His Son’s Training And Interest In Wrestling

In June, Kevin Owens revealed that his son Owen got in the ring for the first time. 

Owen is only a teenager, but stands at 6’8”. 

Speaking to Alex McCarthy of Daily Mail, Kevin gave an update on his son’s training. 

“No, there is still interest but I am not pushing him to do anything he shouldn’t be doing before it is too soon,” Owens said when asked if Owen’s interest had developed. “I started training when I was 14, had my first match at 16, and while I feel pretty great for my age – I am 40 now and have been doing this for 25 years – I probably could have benefited from waiting a few years and starting my career a little later. 

“Obviously the circumstances are not the same for him as they were for me, I had no idea where to start and felt like time was against me at any point of my career because you are not getting any younger. You have got to get your name out there. 

“Now the way things have changed, I know some people that might be able to help him. He is focusing on his school and other stuff, when he really is ready to dive in head first, he has all the tools at his disposal, so I am not rushing him and he is not in a rush either. He is still growing from what I can tell I think, that’s not going away.”

Kevin Owens is set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
