Kevin Owens believes Randy Orton is the biggest star in WWE
Kevin Owens and Randy Orton have become great allies this year and have had each other's backs during their matches. The Prizefighter recently heaped praise on Randy Orton and called him the biggest star in the Stamford-based promotion.
In a recent interview with Daily Mail, Kevin Owens revealed that getting to team with Randy Orton has been a great experience and compared the veteran's popularity with John Cena and Roman Reigns. KO believes 98 percent of the audience loves The Viper.
"In my opinion, he's the biggest star in WWE. There's really something unmatched when you're in the ring getting ready for a match, whether it's against him or as his partner, and his music hits. The whole arena goes insane. A lot of superstars that have been the biggest names in WWE over the last several years, such as Roman or Cena, they were polarising figures. You'd have some people that hated them, some people that loved them. Randy, I would say 98 percent of the audience loves him. And I think that's a testament to what he's meant for so long in WWE so getting the chance to team with him has been such a thrill for me," Owens said.
Randy Orton has a chance to become a 15-time World Champion at Bash in Berlin. We will have to wait and see what the outcome of the match turns out to be.
