Logan Paul successfully defended the WWE United States Championship against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton this past weekend at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, PA.
Owens may not be Paul’s biggest fan, but he gives the YouTube star credit for taking pro wrestling seriously.
In a recent interview with Evan Mack, Owens expressed his appreciation for Paul’s dedication to the wrestling industry. He said,
“I’ve said this before, he’s not my kind of person as a human being. He’s got different views, goals in life and different ways to go about things, but he does take what we do very seriously and that’s important.”
He continued, “So it makes it a lot more tolerable for everybody in the locker room to have him there every three months for the big shows because he gives it his all, he works very hard, he wants to make good things, he takes it seriously, so that’s good.”
Kevin Owens also appeared on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast to discuss his remaining career goals.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his goals left in WWE: “I’ve never had a singles match against Rey Mysterio. If I have another WrestleMania in me, I’d love to wrestle Finn Balor there. But as far as just goals, I think I’ve had it so good; I really can’t ask for more.”
On his WrestleMania history with Sami Zayn: “Sami and I had our first WrestleMania together in a ladder match as opponents. Two years later, we were teaming against Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan. Then we got a singles match a few years later, and I was like ‘It’s not gonna get any better than that.’ And then it did last year.”
On how his mindset has changed over the years: “I used to be so obsessed with just wanting to do more. And a lot of that made it so that I wouldn’t enjoy it. Teaming with Jericho for all those months and the story we had was so incredible, but in that moment, I didn’t enjoy it like I should have.”
