the Road to WrestleMania: Exclusive Interview with Kevin Owens

The tension in the air was palpable as Kevin Owens sat down with Archyde, fresh off his fiery exchange with CM Punk on Friday night’s SmackDown. Owens, never one to shy away from a challenge, spoke candidly about his rivalry with Punk, his sights set on WrestleMania, and the ever-evolving landscape of SmackDown.

“The confrontation with Punk? It’s just the latest chapter in what’s become a very personal rivalry,” Owens said, a steely glint in his eye. “He seems to think he’s got something to prove against me, but I’m not worried. I’ve been here before,I’ve battled the best,and I’m not going to let him get in my head.”

The rivalry between thes two wrestling icons has been brewing for months, fueled by trash talk, tense stare-downs, and explosive moments in the ring. Owens made it clear that he’s not interested in playing nice.

“He hopes I don’t make it to the wrestlemania main event so he can ‘die a miserable failure,'” Owens scoffed, quoting Punk’s recent words. “Together,he’s out there losing to Logan Paul and dropping title matches at the Rumble. It’s pathetic, really. He needs to look in the mirror and figure out what he wants, becuase I know what I want: to be standing tall at WrestleMania, with the WWE Universe chanting my name.”

While Punk might potentially be his primary focus, Owens acknowledges the deep pool of talent on SmackDown.

“There are a lot of guys on SmackDown who I see as competition,” owens admitted. “Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn… these are all guys who are at the top of their game, and I want to be in that conversation too.I’m hungry for another world title run, and I’m not going to stop until I get it.”

Owens’ fiery determination is infectious, leaving no doubt that he’s ready to leave his mark on WrestleMania and solidify his place among WWE’s elite.

The rivalry between Kevin Owens and CM Punk is heating up, with Owens recently speaking out against Punk’s recent actions and words. “Look, I’m not going to shy away from the fact that Punk and I have some beef,” Owens admitted in a recent interview, his voice betraying the intensity of his words even over the phone. “He’s been talking a lot since coming back to WWE, but his words often ring hollow. Lately, he seems to be making everything about himself.”

Owens scoffed at Punk’s claims that he hopes to see Punk fail, stating, “That’s the kind of desperate statement someone makes when they’re afraid. Let’s be real, Punk, your chance at the main event at WrestleMania might be fading faster than your popularity.”

Despite the heated exchange, Owens’ demeanor softens when discussing his own WrestleMania aspirations. “Everyone wants to be part of that show; it’s the biggest night of the year. And yes, I dream of being in the main event. But it doesn’t happen by relying on cheap shots and name-calling. It takes hard work, proving yourself in the ring, and consistently delivering for the fans. That’s what I’m focused on.”

Owens also acknowledges the unpredictable nature of SmackDown, a show known for surprise appearances and unexpected turns. “Having Stephanie McMahon back in the audience is a huge deal,and R-Truth…well, let’s just say it was good for a few laughs!” he chuckled. “That’s what WWE does best, keeps you on your toes. Every show is an event, and you never know what’s going to happen next.”

When asked about potential future feuds, Owens remained tight-lipped. “I’m focused on proving myself against the best, and there are a lot of talented guys on SmackDown right now. But you never know, maybe that path leads me to punk again. A few things need to be settled between us.”
