Just imagine shopping at your favorite retail store and popping into the toy section to check out the WWE action figures when you see a large man standing in the WWE section wearing a child’s Finn Balor mask. Now visualize that man taking off his mask to reveal it is Kevin Owens. Yeah, kind of mind-blowing, eh? It’s even better than when Sting took off his Sting mask in TNA to reveal it was really Sting the whole time to surprise RVD only even more surprising because KO wasn’t wearing a KO mask.
Well, this is exactly what happened when KO was recently checking out WWE merch in a retail environment. We’re assuming Kevin was counting how many figures of himself are left compared to John Cena. But when he saw a Finn Balor mask just sitting there, in Owens’ own words he “had to put it on and take a picture.”
This kind of action not only illustrates how KO is still a kid at heart and loves pro wrestling, but it could also show a solidarity with the first-ever Universal Champion. After all, there has been a considerable amount of talk recently about how over Finn Balor is as Vince McMahon has reportedly been moving away from the idea of a Demon vs Beast Incarnate match at Royal Rumble.
Of course, not everyone can see this kind of thing from Kevin Owens without commenting and one fan decided to do so with great gusto and without using spellcheck.
I saw this at the store. Had to put it on and take a picture.

One fan commented by saying: “It does not help you to hide I will always fund you and I will beat you. Now giw about you stop running like a scared child and face me like a real man I will sign all paperwork so no one gets sued. NOW FACE ME YOU YELLOW SCUMBAG ISIS LOVER COME on COME be a real man.”
Kevin Owens doesn’t usually feed the trolls, but when he does, The Prizefighter always has something special lined up for their hateful rhetoric. In a very simple reply, Owens said, “you outdid yourself with this one.”
Honestly, what else could he have said after so much had been spewed in his general direction? He was not only insulted as a person but also called an “Isis lover” which is a pretty serious allegation.
After receiving what sounded like a pretty firm offer from someone who wanted to legitimately fight a man whose current t-shirt says, “fight anyone” Kevin Owens had a pretty nifty response.
We’re giving the point to KO here for originality and tactfulness.
You outdid yourself with this one. https://t.co/nr5q9XhKE2
