Kevin Owens claims he wouldn't be in WWE if not for Triple H

Kevin Owens claimed that he and many other talents would not have signed with WWE if not for Triple H.

Speaking to talkSPORT, the Prizefighter credited The Game for helping him through his career in WWE, claiming that no one has ever done so much for him.

Speaking of Hunter's official retirement and goodbye at WrestleMania 38, the former Universal Champion had this to say:

“I think I echo what everyone has said: It’s very unfortunate in the way he didn’t get to retire in the ring, but he made the right decision for himself and his family. So that’s the right decision, it’s a good decision.” h/t talkSPORT

Owens first made his mark in WWE when he became the NXT Champion. The Black and Gold brand was run by the Cerebral Assassin at the time. KO has seen the 14-time world champion as his mentor ever since.
