Kevin Owens has sent his best wishes to a top AEW star.
On October 13th, Owens became the newest member of the SmackDown roster. The former Universal Champion moved to the blue brand as part of the trade that saw Jey Uso move to Raw back in September.
KO’s arrival was announced by new General Manager Nick Aldis, and he marked the occasion by hitting Dominik Mysterio with a Stunner.
In a digital exclusive after the show, Owens reflected on the move and took the chance to send a message of support to Adam Cole. The star recently suffered a broken ankle and underwent surgery ahead of SmackDown.
“I just wanna say I’ve got a friend named Adam who had a very serious surgery today. He’s at the hospital now recovering. Just wanna say, Adam we love you, we’re with you, and take care of yourself buddy.”
Kevin Owens Admits SmackDown Move Is Bittersweet
During the interview, Kevin Owens also reflected on the end of his partnership with Sami Zayn. KO said it was kind of hard to take, but he’s ready to make the best of his new life on SmackDown.
“But anyway, look, I’m excited to be on SmackDown. It’s bittersweet. My tag team partner and friend Sami Zayn is still on Raw, so I think that effectively ends our partnership, for now anyway. So that’s kind of a hard one to take, but what can you do? I’m here on SmackDown. I’m gonna make the best of it,”
