15 Things We Learned From Kevin Owens On Talk Is Jericho
10. Winning With Triple H's Help
KO laughs about the massive speculation online that he didn't know the finish prior to Triple H rolling him into the ring just before turning on Seth Rollins and hitting him with the pedigree and jokes that it's a credit to his acting skills.
Jericho calls both Hunter's return, his turning on Rollins and Owens' win a huge surprise and comments on how fans are complaining that it makes the show all about Triple H again. Kevin says that in addition to the fact that it opens up many new storyline avenues for multiple characters, it couldn't have gone any better for him personally.
People assume that he would have wanted his title victory to come after an incredible battle filled with blood, sweat and tears, but besides the fact that he's a heel and heels are supposed to win in the manner that he did, Triple H is responsible for him being in WWE to begin with. He's the one who made the call to take a chance on KO.
When he was hired he was told by director of talent development Canyon Ceman that they were going to bring him in, give him a chance on NXT but not to get his hopes up regarding a main roster run. Kevin told him he was up to the challenge.
