Kevin Owens told Edge and Christian on the pair's E&C Pod Of Awesomeness this past week that he didn't get to sleep until 6am the morning after Hell In A Cell. It took hours for adrenaline from the match against Shane McMahon to wear off, and KO was already dog-tired because he also didn't get a great sleep the night before.

Checking into a hotel with his parents, the former Universal Champion was disappointed to learn that the place was overbooked. Therefore, Owens didn't actually have a room for the night. Undeterred, he ended up sleeping on the floor next to his mother and father's bed. So much for big shot WWE Superstars, huh?

Less than 24 hours before he headlined a WWE pay-per-view against the boss's son inside one of the most infamous structures in wrestling, poor Kevin Owens had to make do with curling up on a hotel room floor and snatching a few hours of shut eye. What a trooper.
