10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Kevin Owens
1. The Mount Rushmore Of Wrestling
With Kevin Owens very much looking as though he had one foot out of the door coming into his contract negotiations towards the end of 2021, fans were quick to point out that the one-time independent icon just so happened to have a few pals already plying their trade elsewhere that could possess the pulling power to convince him to up sticks and become All Elite.
Forming the stable known as The Mount Rushmore of Wrestling, Owens, alongside former NXT Champion Adam Cole, was at one point very much aligned with AEW EVPs Matt and Nick Jackson whilst working under the PWG banner from 2013 onwards. Their bond still appears to be as strong as ever all these years later, too, with The Young Bucks adding "mrow" to their bio at one point and Owens even tweeting out the co-ordinates of Mount Rushmore in the lead-up to his contract talks.
In the end, Owens would obviously opt to stay put. But, make no mistake, WWE are likely well aware of this bond forged on the indies, and will probably do everything in their power to keep the MROW from becoming a thing ever again.
