Kevin Owens won the WWE Universal Championship on Monday, and after he won the belt his wife posted a video of his son’s reaction online. Kevin’s son definitely seemed thrilled to see his dad with the belt, and it was a nice moment for Kevin and his family.
Fast forward a few hours later, and some dude from ESPN named Amin Elhassan decided to take a shot at KO’s line of work, via his son.
A Twitter account called For The Win posted a positive tweet about Kevin’s son’s reaction, saying that his son was overwhelmed by the victory. Amin then had to throw in his two cents, because apparently he’s been paying attention to how much media outlets pick up on people who talk trash about wrestling, and he wanted some attention, so he went after an 8 year old. Real classy.
You can see what he had to say below.
Until someone told him it was scripted. https://t.co/Mzfwfj8AZ3

Former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes is now calling for WWE to cut ties with ESPN following the remarks from Amin.
WWE
Cut ties w/TMZ-they ran my Mother's 911 call
Cut ties w/ESPN-they insulted a child
Have balls. "'Mainstream" ain't always worth it.
