Kevin Owens lost to WWE United States Champion Logan Paul in a triple threat match that also included Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40 – Night 2.
While appearing on Busted Open Radio, Owens named Rey Mysterio and Finn Balor as his dream WrestleMania opponents. He said,
“Things to accomplish and other things, I’ve changed my mindset a lot over the years. I used to be so obsessed with just wanting to do more. What’s my next thing? How big can it be? And a lot of that made it so that I wouldn’t enjoy it; almost what I was going through, you know? With all the things I was experiencing. Mainly, I’ll say teaming with (Chris) 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 and now looking back, I’m like, ‘Man, those were great times,’ you know? So now I really just try to live in the moment and I try to make everything I can and any time I’m out there, I try to make it memorable, I try to enjoy it and you know, if you’re asking me what I’d like to do, that’s left that I haven’t done, I’ve never had a singles match against Rey Mysterio. I really wanna do that, and then… if I have another WrestleMania in me, I’d love to wrestle Finn Bálor there because he’s a very good friend of mine and you know, that would just be great. But, as far as just goals, main events of WrestleMania or titles… I mean, I’ve had it so good. I really can’t ask for more.”
