As seen on this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, new SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis announced that Kevin Owens had been traded from RAW to SmackDown to counter a trade where Jey Uso was sent from SmackDown to RAW.
Following SmackDown, WWE posted a “Digital Exclusive” where Owens called the move a “bittersweet” moment for him.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On how he is celebrating his move: “Well, actually, it’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow. So I’m going to fly back to Canada and go spend the day with her, which is lovely. Without my mom, I wouldn’t be here, literally because she gave birth to me, but also her support throughout my career. I needed it. Without her, I wouldn’t be here. So it’s great to get to go celebrate my move to SmackDown by spending my mom’s birthday with her. So that’s it, really. Just gonna go home and spend some time with my mom.”
On if it was his mother’s birthday wish that he shut up Dominik: “Actually, I would say it’s pretty close to that. She constantly tells me how annoying she thinks Dominik is. Really, really, really does not like Rhea as well. Rhea is always on my case. Although look, I’m on SmackDown now, so hopefully she won’t be around so much. But Dominik showed up for no reason today, so you never know. I’m actually surprised Rhea let him out of the house. 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.”
