Fridge Brilliance

  • Kevin Owens doesn't give a crap about the US Title, despite it theoretically being on a 'higher' level than his own NXT Championship — which seems weird on the surface until you realize:
    • Owens may know that the only reason Cena even has the title in the first place is to help change its perception, and history seems to indicate that guys that hold the NXT Title for a significant length of time go on to very good success on the main roster, while United States Champions can tend to get 'stuck ' at that level and aren't able to advance beyond it.
    • The "Nationalistic pride" thing the US Title doesn't mean much to Owens. He's from Canada.
  • After the two exchanged clean victories over one another, Owens decided he wants Cena's title. Because (A) he was probably bothered by Cena's "I would give you the title back but you're not a real man" backhanded compliment from the night after Payback, and (B) now it's become a matter of proving "once and for all" who the better man is.
  • Kevin's attack on Machine Gun Kelly, powerbombing MGK through a table at the end of his performance the night after Elimination Chamber. He did it because he felt like it. Well, according to him. But why did he feel like it? Could it possibly be because he knows from WrestleMania 28 that MGK is a huge supporter of John Cena?
    • He did later say that Cena was ultimately to blame for what happened, perhaps confirming this one.
  • Kevin Owens uses a pop-up powerbomb as his finisher. The name almost sounds like Poppa Powerbomb.
