WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Nov 28)
9. Kevin Owens Rolled With His Mistake
Joined by his 'best friend' Kevin Owens and then interrupted by Roman Reigns, Chris Jericho became a bit-part player on his own Highlight Reel skit. This was deliberate, Y2J was pushed into the background as Owens and Reigns discussed feuding against one another before the Roadblock: End Of The Line pay-per-view.
In order to build up to a match between the pair on Raw, Roman said he thought KO was a joke as WWE Universal Champion. Aiming to reply by repeating the statement Reigns had just made, Owens tripped over his own words and failed to properly say 'WWE Universal Champion'.
Instead of losing his bearings in the promo, KO was able to make the mistake work for him. Even Jericho got in on the act, saying that English wasn't even Kevin's first language so he was doing pretty well to begin with.
Kevin Owens played off the error incredibly well, even when Reigns decided to draw attention to it by encouraging him to take it easy. So smooth was KO's performance that fans would be forgiven for believing he stuttered on purpose.
