If you're only familiar with Kevin Owens for his WWE work, you'll likely have zero idea that the one-time Universal Champion was once beloved for his Package Piledriver.

Before landing in NXT in 2014, the real-life Kevin Steen had made a name for himself by dropping fools with his patented Package Piledriver manoeuvre. Not only did that move look brutally brilliant, it was also one that led to many a win for the Prizefighter.

When it comes to the Piledriver, of course, the person likely most synonymous with that move is Jerry 'The King' Lawler - and thus, Steen and the King once did battle in a Piledriver vs. Piledriver match in the small window that the Canadian had between leaving Ring of Honor and appearing in NXT.

That match took place as part of Northeast Wrestling's Wrestling Under the Stars III show in August '14 - and it was Lawler who emerged as the victor!

The irony here, mind, is that the Piledriver itself is completely banned in WWE - despite this NEW contest featuring a future WWE Universal Champ and a WWE Hall of Famer who specialises in the move.
