While his recent injury woes have put a damper on Owens’ tag title run with his long-time best friend, the 39-year-old helped add another wrinkle to a program that will continue at SummerSlam, with Jey Uso set to take on Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title in the culmination of a three-year story arc.
His humble response to being only “a small part” of The Bloodline storyline was pointed out by interviewer Ariel Helwani, but Owens has always been a performer who doesn’t need to sing their own praises for fans and peers to acknowledge his greatness. Unfortunately, that same attitude doesn’t extend throughout the WWE locker room according to Owens.
“Here’s one thing about this industry that I think is going and being lost and I really hate it – I think humility is going out the window,” he said. “All I see is constantly people putting themselves over on social media and all this stuff. I see the same people in the locker room and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s not just a character they’re playing’ … they really think this s**t. It’s crazy. Being humble in this industry is a huge key to success and it’s an important quality to have and I think that’s gone.”
