Kevin Owens ‘Doesn’t Care’ He Lost Universal Title To Goldberg
“At least it ended for a reason. There was a reason for it ending beyond ‘hey, Owens isn’t doing a good job.’”

Wrestling fans all have their own disparate tastes, likes, and opinions, but most were united in anger when Kevin Owens dropped the WWE Universal Title to part-time WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg in 2017.
But what did Owens himself think of the title change? Well, as he told TalkSport, he wasn’t all too bothered:
“I don’t really care how it ended. It ended the way it ended and they all have to end at some point. At least it ended for a reason. There was a reason for it ending beyond ‘hey, Owens isn’t doing a good job.’ Because that wasn’t the case. Whether it should have ended that way or not is another discussion altogether.
“What I mean the most when I talk about I’d love to have another Universal title run to make things right is for myself. My mindset has changed a lot since I was champion and back then I didn’t take the time to enjoy any of it. I was just too focused on trying to make it good, make it better, make it as good as it can be and I really, really didn’t enjoy it the way I should have.”
Owens also admitted that he didn’t properly enjoy his time as champion, but hopefully we'll see him with WWE's top prize again sooner rather than later.
