Kevin Owens out of kayfabe interview:

On his family influencing and supporting his rise to the top of WWE...

"My parents could have told me when I was 12 years old and telling them I wanted to be a wrestler that it was silly and to be serious and find something more secure and safe, but they didn't. They pushed me as hard as they could. My wife, she's been with me for 10 years," Owens said. "She saw the ups and the downs and she saw so many people tell me I would never make it to WWE, but she never doubted it. My kids put up with their dad being gone a lot. My daughter's two so she's not super aware of it, she's just happy when I come back, but my son's eight, he's seen me do this his whole life. He knows how much it means to me, he knows how much I enjoy it. I don't know if it's going to stick, but for now, he looks like that's what he wants to do, too. He's very tolerant of the sacrifices we have to make in order for me to do this, and he really enjoys WWE itself, so that certainly helps. Without them, I just wouldn't be here. I also had a thought for my grandfathers. I have their initials tattooed on my knuckles. They were both really big wrestling fans. My dad's father would take me to WWE shows when I was younger and my other grandfather, my mom's dad, would watch wrestling with me at the house. They just really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, they both passed away before I signed with WWE. The tattoos on my knuckles are just kind of a way to keep them with me at all times. I really wish they were there to see this moment, but I definitely thought of them."

On the emotion he felt when his best friend (Sami Zayn) met him at gorilla on the night he won the Universal...

"There were a couple of people. The first one, I don't want to just say who it is, but I think people can figure it out. It was very emotional because in a lot of ways, we both achieved this. I don't know how to describe that. It's our title, in a way, if that makes any sense."
