Kevin Owens reveals career-changing advice from Shawn Michaels, shifts focus from titles to enjoying moments

Kevin Owens, set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Bash at Berlin, recently shared insights about his evolving perspective on his wrestling career. In an interview, Owens revealed that during his earlier years when he frequently held championships, he was never truly satisfied. He admitted to being obsessed with obtaining titles, which prevented him from fully enjoying his accomplishments.

A turning point came for Owens in 2018 when he underwent double knee surgery and spent five months away from wrestling. During this time, he reached out to WWE legend Shawn Michaels for advice. Michaels shared that he had similar experiences throughout his career, always fixating on what was next rather than appreciating the present moment. This conversation proved to be pivotal for Owens, helping him shift his mindset and approach to his career.

Since adopting this new perspective, Owens has experienced notable highlights in his career, including sharing the ring with Stone Cold Steve Austin and winning tag team titles in the main event of WrestleMania. He now appears to have a more balanced outlook on his achievements and the wrestling industry as a whole.
