Kevin Owens was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. During the interview, he spoke on a wide variety of topics.
One of these topics was why he changed his finishing move to the Stunner. Previously, Owens was using the pop-up powerbomb as his finishing maneuver.
Here is what Owens said:
“I felt like everybody was doing powerbombs left and right, and I wanted to try something else. And one day it occurred to me that no one does the stunner as a finishing move, but to me, it’s always been the best move. So I just went to Steve one day when he was here and I asked him, and he said, ‘I can’t believe nobody’s asked me this before, but of course you can use it. Do whatever you want with it.’
I did that out of respect for the people who’ve come before me. I would never want to do that without his approval. He gave me the approval and it’s working for me, so I have no intention of stopping and no intention of renaming it, either. It’s the stunner and it always will be the stunner.”
How do you feel about Owens using the stunner? Let me know in the comment section below.
