Kevin Owens Agrees That NXT’s Women Are Outworking the Men

Kevin Owens is on the same page as Grayson Waller when it comes to the women’s division outperforming the men in WWE NXT. Waller made the statement during his return to the Tuesday night brand in late July, cutting a promo in which he said that the women of NXT are doing better than the men. The headline-grabbing promo has been praised by everyone from CM Punk and Nattie to John Cena.

Owens touched on Waller’s comments during his recent interview with Faces Magazine. He also talked about his experiences working in Ottawa, Ontario ahead of Raw’s return there next week. You can see highlights below:

On NXT Talents That Fans Should Look Forward To Seeing:

“It’s very hard to nail one down, and you know, I’m going to echo what Grayson Waller said on NXT a few weeks ago. There’s a lot of very talented people in NXT, but the women of NXT are kind of whipping the dude’s asses right now as far as in-ring work and performance, so I don’t want to just single out one, but there’s a few guys to keep an eye on for sure. I think the people that go see that NXT show, what they’ll walk away from talking about is going to be the women on the show because they’re all pretty excellent. The future is bright for the women’s division in WWE when you see the girls that are in NXT and their work.”

On His Memories Of Wrestling In Ottawa:

“Yeah, I had so much fun in Ottawa for so many years with C4 Wrestling, and it was a special place. I was really happy to learn that Smackdown is also going to be a part of the Ottawa show this Monday, because I didn’t know that until recently, and I love being in Ottawa.

“We had Raw in Ottawa a few years ago, I got to be a part of it, that was awesome. So, I’m glad to be a part of it, because like you said, Ottawa was a big part of my career before WWE, so anytime I get to come back there, it’s another part of home where I get to perform, and it’s great. I’m really glad I get to do that.”
