Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn’s Target Audience Is “Little Kevin,” Wes Lee Talks Future Opponents
On the “Xfinity” podcast, Sami Zayn explained how he and Kevin Owens keep fine-tuning their performances to maintain audience engagement throughout their careers.
Zayn explained that their formula ensures wrestling fans continue to get new and interesting performances, regardless of how long they may have been watching the pair.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the demographic they try to consider when performing: “We have a little expression, actually when we do shows in different towns and they’re kind of close, there’s a certain fan that we cater towards called little Kevin, which is basically when he [Owens] was a fan, but there might be 100 or 200 little Kevins out there, and we kind of are very mindful of them. They might have seen the act before, they might have seen what we do, so we got to keep them on the edge of their seats and we got to keep them on their toes.”
On the benefits of their performance philosophy: “So I think having that approach, while may be a little much, that sometimes may be a little much for some people, I think it’s been the key to keeping our story fresh for 20 years now.”
On a recent edition of the “Under The Ring” podcast, Wes Lee revealed his list of preferred opponents for future storylines.
Lee failed to reclaim the NXT North American Championship from Dominik Mysterio in the Triple Threat title match involving Mustafa Ali at WWE NXT Great American Bash.

On his primary options for future confrontations: “There’s a number of people, including people I’ve known for a very, very long time. Number one would probably be Cedric Alexander, him and I are good friends and we’ve never had a match, known each other for almost a decade now and that’s kind of crazy. Logan Paul would be fun.”
On the option of facing the head of the stable in his current feud: “I have to give the man his credit, Finn [Balor] was also somebody that definitely influenced me a lot. His time in Japan was definitely one that really grabbed a lot of my attention and really gave me a different outlook on this. So, even though he’s the leader of the group that happened to take my championship from me, I’ve got to give it to him and I’d love to have a match with him as well.”
