Is there nothing Kevin Owens cant do right now? KO owned two former world champions in a backstage segment, taking Chris Jericho and Alberto Del Rio to task when they stepped in during his interview.

KO mocked Jericho (and added that he needed a mint), and then went after Del Rio (most likely to speak Spanish). Kudos to Owens for calling Alberto out for calling everyone pero (dog) constantly. Its an annoying trait that needs to change, and with Owens calling Del Rio on it multiple times, maybe now it will.

Interestingly, KO told both former champions that they say the same thing every week, which is a scary truth for WWE to admit about their talent. As great as Jericho is, he has a routine and got called out for it. Owens simply owned this entire segment.
