5 best pre-WWE Kevin Owens matches to watch on his birthday

Kevin Owens vs Samoa Joe

We have seen them fight between the ropes in the WWE, but a lot of wrestling fans may not be aware that the two also fought back in the day when they were in the independent circuit. They fought tooth and nail during the 2nd of July, 2004 show in the independents and gave the fans a moment to remember.

Samoa Joe is currently involved in a commentator role, and it would be amazing to see how he returns to the show. The two have fought in the past in WWE, and it would be amazing to see how they perform this time around. The storytelling experience has seen a rise in the WWE since the coronavirus pandemic impacted the wrestling world and the world in general.

This pandemic has served the company in attempting new ways of storytelling, camera angles, and even trying new ideas to present matches. It would be nice to see these two utilize this opportunity in the best possible manner.

Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn/El Generico – Fight Without Honor

If you were to see how two wrestlers can re-ignite their rivalry and provide the fans the entertainment they deserve, then you can always look up to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. The two fought amazing matches during their time in Ring of Honor and continued it when they entered the NXT circuit.

Sami Zayn dropped the mask during his transition from ROH to WWE, but he didn’t miss a beat when it came to fighting his best friend in real life and nemesis on camera, Kevin Owens. They had some of the best matches at NXT and continued it on the main roster until The Underdog from the Underground decided to turn heel and help his friend.

The character change came as a breath of fresh air for the WWE Universe, who had lost interest in the former NXT Champion. We would have to wait and see if they ever step against each other in the company again.
