NXT Champion Kevin Owens made a surprise debut on Monday’s WWE RAW.
Owens came out as John Cena was offering up his US Championship Open Challenge. Owens congratulated Cena for his victory at Payback. Owens said people that don’t know who he is already aren’t worth his time in the first place. John Cena officially announced NXT Champion Kevin Owens.
Owens said Cena shouldn’t feel bad about injuring Sami Zayn because Zayn was injured by him prior to the Cena match. Owens said he’s going to finish Zayn off Wednesday at Takeover.
Cena tried offering Owens advice, but Owens told Cena he’s been wrestling 15 years, longer than him, so he doesn’t want Cena’s advice. Cena offered Owens a chance to answer the Open Challenge. Owens rejected the offer, saying they will fight one day, but on his terms. Owens then brutally attacked Cena with a kick to the gut and a massive powerbomb. He picked up the NXT title and the US title, dropped the US title down and stomped on it. The crowd chanted Fight Owens Fight in what is one of the strongest WWE TV debuts in a long time.
Owens defends against Sami Zayn this Wednesday at NXT Takeover: Unstoppable live on the WWE Network.
