KEVIN OWENS

Everything I do really is for my family.

People ask me how I am such a good heel, but I don't know; I just try to be me and go and do what I need to do to get the job done on any show that I am on and achieve the work that is set up in front of me.

My parents could have told me, when I was 12 years old and telling them I wanted to be a wrestler, that it was silly and to be serious and find something more secure and safe, but they didn't. They pushed me as hard as they could.

My wife, she's been with me for 10 years. She saw the ups and the downs, and she saw so many people tell me I would never make it to WWE, but she never doubted it.

I'll never forget fighting on top of a cell with Shane McMahon.

Great matches are necessary, and everybody loves to watch a great match.

I do whatever entertains me. If it entertains me to throw flowers halfway across the room, then that's what I'll do.

I've never been the sort of guy who wants to emulate this guy or that guy. I just try to forge my own path.

I've wrestled in front of great crowds in Montreal, and I've wrestled absolutely terrible crowds where you're in front of, like, 200 people.

I'm genuine, and I think people can see that when they watch.

I enjoy every second I get in the ring. But there's a bigger picture now and a much bigger purpose to everything, and it's to take care of my kids and my wife and make sure they have a good future.

When I signed with WWE and moved to Orlando, my wife and my two kids came with me.

I look up to Tye Dillinger.

I'm a 'no frills' kind of guy.

Being on Raw every Monday is obviously important, but the pay-per-views are the big shows: that's where everything comes to a head, and I want to be a part of those as often as possible.

I hope that Ring Of Honor could one day sell out Madison Square Garden when WWE is not in town.

Chris Jericho was always someone I looked up to. I was a WWE fan growing up, and I remember his debut.

If there's something funny to be said, I will say it.

I just know that I have this Universal championship, and I want to make it worth as much as possible, and that's what I'm focusing on.

I would like to be champion - that is everybody's ultimate goal - but my one goal at all times, whether on Raw, Smackdown, a pay-per-view, or a live event, is to make people walk away and remember what I did.

There's a lot of people out there who are just miserable in their own lives, I guess, and just trying to make other people miserable as well to bring themselves up. There's no shortage of that, that's for sure.

I wasn't in NXT for very long, but what I learned there was very valuable once I got onto the main roster - how to communicate to a larger audience, stuff like that.

When I'm on, people watch; people pay attention.

I was a wrestling fan long enough, and once in a while, I would get bored. I'd be on board with a superstar and love what he'd do. Then eventually, I would get bored with him. I don't want people to think that way of me, so I'm doing everything I can to make sure it doesn't happen.

All I can say is that Triple H is literally the most dedicated man in sports entertainment. Nobody works as hard as he does.
