Comme a son habitude, et comme on peut le voir à Raw ou en live event, Kevin Owens aime s’en prendre aux fans et les critiquer lorsqu’ils soutiennent quelqu’un d’autre que lui, ce qui augmente son côté heel.
Ce samedi soir lors du live event à Lowell, MA, Kevin Owens a parlé à un fan présent en partant après sa défaite contre Roman Reigns. Il a dit à ce jeune fan, qui portait un tee-shirt de Reigns, d’aller plutôt acheter un des siens, mais en fait non qu’il n’en achète jamais, car il ne veut pas que ce fan porte son tee-shirt:
Sa mère n’a pas du tout apprécié ce moment et a critiqué Kevin Owens sur Facebook:
« My heart is shattered. What started off as an amazingly awesome night ended in my 7 year old being completely heartbroken. My son is a huge WWE fan and a fan of just about every wrestler on the roster. He has a drawer full of everyone’s shirts but he chose to wear a Roman Reigns shirt since he has been a fan of his ever since he started watching. All night he was getting high fives from other wrestlers and was all smiles but for some reason when Kevin Owens came out he singled out my son and commented on who’s shirt he was wearing then told him « you should get this shirt. Actually don’t get this shirt I don’t want you to ever wear my shirt. Don’t you ever try to touch me. » All because my 7 year old wanted a high five and wasn’t wearing his shirt. My heart sank. He became visibly upset, sat down and kept staring at the gate. I couldn’t help it I started crying. He loves wrestling. He has a drawer full of just about everyone’s shirts, over 100 figures, so many accessories and just loves watching and going to events. The worst part is he was going to be getting a Kevin Owens shirt and hat for Christmas but now he doesn’t want anything to do with him. Kevin Owens was actually one of my sons favorites but now he says « he’s not even on the list of who I like. » This was finally an event that my whole family was able to attend: myself, my son, my mother who has been suffering from leukemia, and my father and we were all having a great time until that happened. For a show that is supposed to be family friendly Kevin Owens really crushed a huge fans spirits last night. My son is 7 not 15 or 16 where they can take someone they idolize talking to them like that but 7. We have been to many events: TLC, Smackdown, Hell in a Cell, NXT, and the draft. He doesn’t want to go anymore. He had previously asked me if the wrestlers who appear mean would ever do or say something to a kid and I said absolutely not they know better. Kevin Owens made me a liar and just showed everyone last night how much of a jerk he really is. To top all of this off after Kevin Owens lost to Roman Reigns and he was walking away from the ring my son was just standing there on his seat watching and Kevin Owens jumped towards him and yelled at him « I am your father » which made no sense but with the sudden movement and loudness made all of us jump and my son almost fell of his seat. My son is crushed and whenever he talks about it he tears up. I can’t believe a wrestler would actually treat a 7 year old fan this way. Shame on you Kevin Owens and WWE. »
»Mon coeur est brisé […] Mon fils est un énorme fan de la WWE et un fan de chaque catcheur. Il a une penderie remplie de tee-shirts de la WWE et il a simplement choisi celui de Roman Reigns dont il est fan depuis le début. Toute la nuit il a eu des tapes dans la main de tout le monde et des sourires mais pour une quelconque raison Kevin Owens est arrivé et a pris à parti mon fils pour son tee-shirt. […] Tout cela parce que mon fils voulait le toucher et qu’il ne portait pas son tee-shirt. Mon coeur saigne, j’ai commencé à pleurer. Le pire dans l’histoire c’est qu’il allait recevoir un tee-shirt et une casquette de Kevin Owens pour Noel, mais maintenant il ne veut plus entendre parler de lui. […] Pour un show qui est supposé être familial Kevin Owens a ruiné l’esprit de vrais fans la nuit dernière. Mon fils a 7 ans, pas 15 ni 16 et ne peut pas comme eux encaisser ce qu’une idole peut lui dire, il a 7 ans. On a été a beaucoup de show, TLC, Smackdown, Hell in a Cell, le Draft. Il ne veut plus y aller.[…] Mon fils est dévasté et pleure à chaque fois. Je ne peux pas croire qu’un catcheur puisse traiter un enfant de 7 ans de cette façon. Honte à vous Kevin Owens et la WWE. »
Kevin Owens a répondu à cette affaire sur Twitter:
« A wrestler told my son not to not to touch him. I’m completely heartbroken…Well, not really but if I complain maybe I’ll get free stuff! » pic.twitter.com/VbXjLzLYOg

»Un catcheur a dit à mon fils de ne pas le toucher. Je suis complètement dévastée… En fait pas vraiment, mais si je me plains j’aurais peut-être des produits gratuits! »
Owens est-il allé trop loin? Ou ceci est-il simplement normal et fait partie de son personnage heel?
