Kevin Owens wants another run at the top.

Kevin Owens will challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. In doing so, he will aim to win a world title for the first time since 2016.

Speaking with Cameron Hawkins for Uncrowned, Kevin Owens commented on his mindset and made it clear that he was happy being on the show, but he was still hungry for another world title win.

“Now when I go to work, I’m more concerned about delivering what’s being asked of me, as opposed to 2015, 2016, 2017. I was really obsessed with, yes, delivering, but I wanted to deliver because I wanted to get more opportunities, and I wanted to get higher, and I wanted to get bigger, and I wanted to be the biggest star I could be and be in the top spot. It’s changed in the sense that I’ve gotten to do so much. Now I’m really just happy being on the show and giving people memorable times and good television. I’m still hungry, though. I’d still love to have another run as champion. It’s been a while, and I’d love to be in that spot and see how I can deliver in that spot,” Owens said.

Owens also made it clear that, moving forward, he wants to be as useful as he can, and he wants to feel like he’s doing something good. He made it clear that he wants to have a great time and give fans the best memories possible.

“I want to be as useful as I can be to the show I’m on. I want to contribute as much as I can. Selfishly, I want to feel fulfilled and I want to feel like I’m doing something good. I want to be part of good stuff just for my own personal enjoyment. My main goal for the rest of my career is to have the best time I can and give the fans the best memories possible to look back on when I’m done. That’s really what drives my career and drives my motivation for the rest of my career. I’ve really accomplished way more than I ever thought I would,” Owens 

During the interview, Owens said that Rhodes was obsessed with being a top guy. Check out his comments here.
