Kevin Owens Says WrestleMania 38 Against Steve Austin ‘Just Edges Out’ WrestleMania 39 Main Event

Kevin Owens had back-to-back years to remember at WrestleMania. 

At WrestleMania 38, Owens faced Steve Austin in the main event of night one in Austin’s first match in nearly two decades. At WrestleMania 39, Owens teamed with Sami Zayn to defeat The Usos (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso) and win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles. 

Speaking to Spencer Love of Love Wrestling, Owens was asked about the two main event bouts.

“I hate doing this because it sounds like I’m trying to get out of easily, but there’s really no words to describe either experience. The best way I can describe it is Iook back on both of these nights, and I kind of can’t believe they happened, that I found myself in that situation, in that spot, getting to do that, and the circumstances on both years were just so incredible. I guess if one takes the absolute cake and just edges out the other one by very little, I think it’s still more unbelievable to me that I wrestled Stone Cold Steve Austin 19 years after his last match in the main event of WrestleMania. That’s just kind of a ‘pinch yourself to make sure it’s real’ kind of moment, and I’ve done that a lot over the last year and a half or so since it happened. But both those moments, they’re things I’ll look back on when I’m done and think I was very, very lucky to get to experience those things,” he said.

Austin has not stepped back into the ring since defeating Owens at WrestleMania 38. Owens & Zayn are still the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions.

Elsewhere during the interview, Owens discussed not having a match at WWE Elimination Chamber in Montreal. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
