“As smart as I thought you were, smart as I know you are, you would’ve studied the delivery mechanism to deliver a stone cold stunner, and if you wanted to borrow it from me, which you did, dare I say steal it, you would’ve called me on the phone, you got my damn phone number in your phone and said “hey Steve. I’m thinking about busting this thing out because I got Roman Reigns, he’s tough as nails and I might need it, and I could’ve explained to you what the, (the mechanics), it’s more than that, the anatomical, the physiological and the kinesiological aspects that go into performing such a maneuver, Kevin”
Austin asked Owens what he was thinking when he hit the ‘Stunner’ at the Rumble, Owens defended himself:
“Well listen, like I said, you set up the scene perfectly. There’s a table behind me, and there’s a giant Roman Reigns charging at me. I put the knee up by instinct, and the next thing I knew I’ve done so much to this guy and nothing’s worked, wham, as you would say it, here’s the stunner! I didn’t think of the gut shot, I did the best I could. It wasn’t enough, but hey, yeah maybe I should’ve called you but it just happened. It wasn’t something I planned ya know”

Owens would joke that maybe Austin could teach him in the ring how to properly do it. Austin would go on to explain more of the science behind the move on the show and it is much recommended for fans of both guys.
