Kevin Owens was recently interviewed by Argus Leader to promote some upcoming WWE live events. He spoke on a wide variety of topics about his WWE career so far.

One of the questions that Owens was asked was why he dropped ‘the face of America’ gimmick that he had been using on Smackdown Live for the past little while.
The explanation from Owens is pretty reasonable. Too many stars on the Smackdown Live roster are currently talking about America and he doesn’t want to be like anybody else.
Here is what he said:
“I’m moving away from that now by choice because there’s so many people on Smackdown right now talking about America. Whether it’s Jinder Mahal or Rusev, I don’t like being like other people. When I started the Face of America, there was nobody on Smackdown doing that kind of stuff, and now there’s too many of us. I’m going to go back to being Kevin Owens, and that’s always worked out pretty good for me.”
He isn’t wrong, his career has been going pretty well in WWE as regular Kevin Owens. This includes the WWE Universal, United States, NXT and Intercontinental Championships on his resume.
