Emotion was king when Kevin Owens won the WWE Universal Title recently on Monday Night Raw. Although aided by a returning Triple H, nobody could deny that Owens had earned such a moment, he is someone many believed would never get to the top of the WWE mountain. All along, Owens had faith in himself.

Time and time again, the man reiterated this to Slam Sports during an interview. Throughout his media appearances, KO enjoys playing up to his on screen persona, but he couldn't resist peeling back the curtain slightly here. Even though Sami Zayn is one of his fiercest rivals on television, the pair shared a moment backstage when Owens bagged the biggest title on Raw.

Moments later, the new Universal Champion was telling Vince McMahon that he wouldn't regret deciding to put the title on Owens. Retorting to these bold words, McMahon said he was sure he wouldn't, which is a glowing appraisal of his new champion's talents.

It takes balls to say something like that to the most powerful man in WWE, but Owens has now done it.
