#1 Current WWE star Kevin Owens named his son after Owen Hart
Kevin Owens has been one of WWE's most popular stars since he was promoted to the main roster back in 2015. It was after the star joined the main roster that Owens was able to share stories about his son, Owen, and the fact that he was named after former WWE star Owen Hart.
While on the independent circuit, Owens was known under his real name of Kevin Steen. But, he was forced to change his ring name in WWE and decided to pay tribute to the legend himself by becoming Kevin Owens.

Owens was inspired by Owen throughout his early career and even revealed in an interview with Argus Leader that he speaks to the star before his matches.
“The only thing I’ll do every single time… not to get into the whole topic of religion here, but some people believe in God and some people believe in all kinds of things. I don’t have many particular beliefs, but I do believe in people who we’ve lost. I’ll speak to Owen Hart; he was a big influence on me as a young wrestler, and when he passed, I felt a great sense of loss. Ever since then I just talk to Owen Hart before every match and I ask him to be with me and make sure I don’t get hurt."
Kevin Owens' only son, Owen, has been part of several storylines throughout his time in WWE.
