Kevin Owens is quite happy that Randy Orton is back in WWE.
The Viper was on the shelf for over a year with a back injury, but made his triumphant return at this past Saturday’s Survivor Series premium live event. The Prizefighter was asked to give his thoughts on Orton during a recent interview with James Williams. This is what he had to say.
I love Randy, I’m so happy he’s back. I think he’s much needed. To me, having him around in the locker room is an absolute positive. Besides the fact that he’s a fantastic performer and a legend, there’s some people that are just good to have around and he’s good to have around. There are people now, which is what I love about our locker room currently, there are people that are leaders without saying, ‘I’m a leader.’ Randy is one of them, so when he’s around, everyone steps up their game because Randy Orton’s here.
Elsewhere in the interview, Owens broke his silence on CM Punk returning to WWE. You can see what he said about that here.
