► Kevin Owens reveals why he refused to have a team with Damian Priest in WWE
«Yes, they tried to be a friend of Damian Priest on television. I refused. So in 2021, during the era of pandemic, he was in a rivalry with Roman Reigns. It was the beginning of a four -year nightmare that simply did not stop for me.
«But when he started, we were fighting in front of empty buildings. We had those rare screens … yes, the Thunder. And just when we were supposed to have the final fight, which was going to be a struggle of Last Man Standing in the Royal Rumble – which ended up being the favorite fight of all we had – things changed. About three weeks before, I thought we were stop. We were going to the rumble, a big fight, it was going to be fun.
«Then I get to television and they tell me that things are changing. They tell me: 'You're going to introduce your new best friend, who will help you face The Bloodline for the numerical disadvantage'. And how, 'Who is this guy?' They tell me, 'Do you know Damian Priest of Nxt?'
«He had nothing against him, but no one was going to believe that we were best friends. We couldn't be more opposite. It was so random. It turns out that someone launched the idea, and stayed … for about five minutes. Until I said: 'I don't want to be your friend on television.' Maybe in real life, but let's start somewhere.
«And yes, that idea was ruled out, but he was going to take my place in combat. It was going to be Damian Priest vs. Roman Reigns in the Royal Rumble. The plot is complicated. But well, for what is worth, I did not ruin his career: he debuted in the main cast as two weeks later ».
