Kevin Owens wants to win men’s Money in the Bank portfolio and rightfully cash in on his guaranteed world title.
Owens will compete in a ladder match alongside young upstarts Jevon Evans and Trick Williams, former Intercontinental Champions Braun Breaker and Penta, and his arch-nemesis CM Punk. He said in an interview WWE’s Katie Kelly that when he wins the briefcase, he will cash in his contract when his opponent is ready and waiting for him.
“I’m going to take that briefcase and when the time comes, I’m going to cash it in the right way, not with some sneak attack when the champion is already down because I want him to see me coming,” Owens explained.
The former world champion looked back at him Universal Championship win, explaining why he wouldn’t want to win the title that way again. He acknowledged that Triple H handed him the title and said that the next time he’s world champion, he wants to earn it rightfully.
“And I don’t want what happened 10 years ago when I won the Universal title to happen again, because I think I deserved the Universal title, but the way I won it that night, I didn’t earn it,” said the Prizefighter. “It was given to me by Triple H, and look, I was good at it at the time. But for the last decade, I’ve been thinking that if he hadn’t been there, I would have won. I like to think so, but I don’t really know. So when I get that briefcase, I cash it in the right way, and I take every WWE title.
Owens’ last world title was the aforementioned Universal Championship, which began a decade ago and ended with him losing the title to Goldberg.
