Another stated he’s a future superstar in the making.

Though time will tell if he makes it to the WWE or not, Owen Steen is a pro wrestling fan and often comes to support his dad during his matches. Kevin Owens, on the other hand, is a doting dad who takes immense care of his children’s safety.

Speaking to TMZ Sports ahead of their match, Owens explained how it’s a “neat little thing” for him to partner Cena. The reason was none other than his son, Owen Steen.

“Me and my son will always have a little bond over John Cena. My son, as he was growing up, was a huge John Cena fan. When I signed my WWE contract, I told my son, ‘Maybe I’ll get to fight John Cena one day, then I did.’,” the WWE superstar said.

He also shared that while his son is not as big of a wrestling fan as he was, the 15-year-old is always excited about Cena’s match.
