4 years of Kevin Owens in WWE: 3 positives and 3 negatives

#3 Negative: WrestleMania 33

Kevin Owens defeated Chris Jericho in the second match of the night at WrestleMania 33 to win the United States Championship.

The general consensus amongst fans after the show was that Owens vs. Jericho was a decent match but the WrestleMania pay-off to their eight-month storyline felt a little underwhelming, especially considering that they had one of the hottest angles going into ‘Mania following the ‘Festival of Friendship’.

The match alone is not worthy of being talked about as one of the biggest negatives of Owens’ WWE career – it was not that bad – but its inclusion in this list is definitely worthy when you hear what Vince McMahon thought about it.

In footage captured on Owens’ ‘WWE 365’ documentary on the WWE Network, KO asked his boss if everything was good after their match, to which McMahon bluntly replied, “No... no...”

Jericho later told Inside The Ropes:

"I thought the match was good. I was very surprised when I saw KO after and he's like, ‘Vince said it was one of the worst matches in WrestleMania history.’"
