Kevin Owens says beating up McMahon family is the best thing to happen to his career
KO cut open Vince and defeated Shane at Hell in a Cell and hopes it will launch him to new heights after being disappointed by Universal championship run
KEVIN OWENS reckons beating up WWE owner Vince McMahon was the best thing that could have happened to him.
KO cut open 72-year-old-old with a vicious headbutt before defeating his son and SmackDown Live commissioner Shane in a brutal Hell in a Cell match.
And Owens has admitted he was disappointed by his Universal title run earlier in the year but reckons his fued with the McMahon's has elevated him to new levels.
Owens said: “I felt like I hit a little — I kinda plateaued in a way.
“You (Edge) say you enjoyed the series of matches with AJ and I’m glad you did and hopefully a lot of people did as well but I don’t know if I can say that I did, to be honest.
"I don’t know if I was putting out my best stuff at the time and once that ended and I transitioned into that thing with Shane [McMahon] I did feel that working with Shane is a big deal and Vince, you know throwing himself into the mix — I knew that you know, that’s as big as it gets.”
“You know not that many people get to do that with Vince, especially nowadays.
"If you look at the last five, six years there hasn’t been a whole lot of people who got to physically assault Vince in the way I did.
"So obviously I knew that was a big deal and I did think that maybe this is what I’ve been waiting for and so far it feels like that was it.
"Now I feel like things have been taken to a new level for me since that happened and I’m gonna try to run with it as good as I can.”
