Kevin Owens credits fan connection and Triple H’s creative direction for WWE success
Kevin Owens has maintained a unique connection with WWE fans since his debut in NXT in 2014. His character, essentially an amplified version of his real personality, has resonated with audiences regardless of his role as a hero or villain. Owens acknowledges this special bond, stating that the fans’ response motivates him to continue performing.
The creative direction under Triple H has played a significant role in fostering this connection. Over the past two years, WWE performers have been given more freedom to provide input and express their authentic selves. This shift has allowed wrestlers like Owens to form more genuine relationships with the audience. Owens credits his shared sense of humor with Triple H as a factor in developing his character, recalling an instance where he was encouraged to point out the absurdity of a storyline, which then became a recurring element in his performances.
