Kevin Owens Confirms Intentions To Face WWE Legend; The Hall of Fame last appeared 2118 days ago!

Kevin Owens should face off Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in Saturday night’s main event. But before the special show, Owens confirmed that he wants to face WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Steamboat, who last appeared on the company’s program 2,118 days ago.

Owens finally cracked on Bad Blood when he attacked Cody Rhodes in the parking lot for teaming up with Roman rule. His anger and frustration led him to eliminate Randy Orton while he also recently admonished Sami Zayn for joining Reigns at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.

In an interview with collider ahead of Saturday’s spectacle, KO was asked to name the legends he’d like to face in Saturday night’s main event. His best answer was Ricky Steamboat, followed by Roddy Piper.

“Ricky Steamboat would be pretty great. I think I, or anyone from this era, would have a fantastic match with him. ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper would also be amazing. I wasn’t in a match with him, but he was a referee at one of of my matches about 15 years ago, and just being around him for a little bit was pretty awesome,” Owens said.

Ricky Steamboat is one of the greatest wrestlers in history. He was a regular in the main event on Saturday nights in the 1980s. Steamboat last appeared on WWE television on the February 25, 2019, episode of RAW during Ric Flair’s 70th birthday celebration. Meanwhile, the legend’s most recent match took place on November 27, 2022, at BTW Return of the Dragon.

Kevin Owens shares his WWE goals

In 10 years as a WWE Superstar, Kevin Owens he won everything from world and mid-card titles to tag team championships. However, Owens remains hungry and determined to achieve his goals at the company.

“I’d love to be world champion again. I’d love to main event WrestleMania Night Two because I’ve already done Night One. I’d love to have a match with Rey Mysterio. But if my career ends tomorrow, I’d STILL be happy with what I’ve done,” Owens told Collider.

Kevin Owens has a chance to match his two goals on Saturday if he defeats Cody Rhodes. Owens could win the Undisputed WWE Championship and later headline WrestleMania 41 Night Two as SmackDown’s biggest titleholder.
