Kevin Owens signed with the WWE in August 2014 and made his NXT debut in the ring on TakeOver: R Evolution that December against Juice Robinson (formerly known as CJ Parker in the WWE). Owens won the match, but suffered a broken nose.
Kevin Owens remembers how Juice Robinson broke his nose during his WWE debut
WWE recently released an extra clip of Kevin Owens ’WWE Chronicle episode on his YouTube channel. In the clip, Owens talked about his WWE debut and how he felt behind the scenes before:
I remember that moment quite specifically. So the music sounds, but no one knows it’s my music. Even before, like before the show started, you know they have the “Then, Now, Forever” graphic, I was watching it. It really shook me because I had seen that chart so many times and now I knew I would go to the show for which it was broadcast. I just remember thinking, that was fifteen years ago, and now we’re finally there. Because it seemed like it always took me a while to get there, but at the same time, it’s probably exactly how it should have been.
Kevin Owens went on to talk about his first game with Juice Robinson (CJ Parker) and how he broke his nose. KO also revealed that his broken nose led him to befriend the current NJPW star:
And then CJ Parker came out and broke my nose. And as a result, we became very close friends. In fact, I texted him not even 20, 30 minutes ago that six years ago he broke my nose and stole my heart. H / T: WrestlingINC
Kevin Owens has recently been in contention with Roman Reigns on SmackDown. Unfortunately, the numbers game is proving to be too much for Owens, with Jey Uso constantly interfering in his matches against Reigns. Uso also got involved in KO matches on the TLC PPV and SmackDown last Friday, costing Owens the title in both matches.
We still don’t know if Owens ’dispute with Roman Reigns is over. Paul Heyman sent a message to Kevin Owens about Talking Smack this week. You can check it out HERE.
