WWE News: The Rock Has Some Big Praise For Kevin Owens

The Rock recently posted on instagram a photo of him and Kevin Owens backstage of Monday Night RAW. He told a great story of him being a fan of Owens while he was on the independent circuit. Now several years later, Owens is on top of the WWE. The Rock had some very nice words for Owens and the hard-work that he put in to get to the WWE.

From The Rock’s Instagram post:

Appreciate The Champ himself, Kevin Owens stopping by “The People’s Hood” to say hello. People’s Hood is the nickname for my dressing rooms. We had a good laugh about the story of when I was training for my WWE comeback and title run (2012) I was training with Kurt Hawkins and Joe Hennig. After our workout, me and Kurt were chopping it up about great independent wrestlers. I said “Dude I just saw this guy last night on YouTube named Kill Steen or something like that. He’s amazing.” Kurt said, “That’s my good friend Kevin Owens”. I said “We’ll tell your friend he’s bad ass and I hope WWE signs him.” Now 5yrs later and relentless hard work, he’s WWE Universal Champion. I like when good things happen to good hard working people. What an asshole though for growing a better beard than I can. #RAW #StaplesCenter #PeoplesHood #UniversalChamp #KevinOwens

Always love seeing the Rock put over younger talent in the wrestling business. Would love to see a Kevin Owens and The Rock match one day.
