The promo that earned Kevin Owens a WWE contract

Kevin wearing a PWG shirt to his WWE tryout is so funny

To fair Kevin wasn't a rookie at a the time....just hidden gem

You can tell he is nervous at the start. It's really surreal given how unflappable Owens is on live TV these days.

He wasn't lying when he said "Sami Zayn... I'm coming for you first."

That promo was more of a pitch… he sold them on that storyline straight away

"Sami Zane....im coming for youuu gingaaa"

He was already good even before getting to WWE.

This promo is the definition of let him cook He builds and builds and that climax just sounds so damn scary

It’s amazing that it has been 10 years that Kevin been with wwe, that man knows he’s meant for this

PROMO STEEN PROMO

1:32 I’m hearing a slight inspiration from Mick Foley/Mankind

English is Kevin’s second language, it’s insane how good he is in cutting promos

He cut great promos in CZW and ROH also. Always been amazing on the mic

KO is one of the main reasons I started to love wrestling again in the mid 2010’s 💪🏾

I live only a very short distance from the Performance Center. I’ve had the honor and privilege of bumping into many WWE wrestlers in my day to day life. Many live in my neighborhood or in the adjacent neighborhood. Kevin Steen happens to be one of these wrestlers. I’ve met him several times at school ( our daughters attended the same school) and other neighborhood events . Kevin is by far without a doubt the nicest guy around.. he is an incredible dad and just an all around decent human being… he is great with the kids when he gets recognized. When the camera is off he’s just a short tattooed dad who smiles a lot.

He’s so boss that they actually made those two wrestle against each other and have a storyline

Hes the best, he shouldn't have even had to do this. He was a well established in ring and mic worker in ROH. my fave.

That was amazing promo. Just shows how amazing Kevin owens is now and back then. Always been so good. To do a promo about his best friend Sami Zayn just shows how close the two of them are now and forever amazing. Definitely a hired promo.

This is a great watch and seeing how far Kevin Owens has come, it's very surreal.

The best promos have an air of truth to them and this is a perfect example. Kevin was proud and over the moon for his best friend.. But it's only human nature for him to question himself during it all... Wonder why he wasn't signing a contract as well beside his friend but instead standing and watching his friend succeed where he had yet to. He was out to prove a point.. That he too belonged.. And going after Sami well.. That's just some friendly competition and there's nothing wrong with that...
