“He was really soaking it all in, and I could sense how much it meant to him. It nearly brought tears to my eyes, to be honest. That moment when he entered and struck his iconic pose in the corner… that’s what will stick with me. The fans were incredible throughout the night, but their display of affection and respect for Randy was truly special,” Owens expressed.
“The Prizefighter” also discussed the privilege of joining forces with Orton at the Premium Live Event in France. Despite their past rivalries, they joined hands in their mutual dislike for The Bloodline, leading to their clash against them at Backlash, a match that unfortunately ended in defeat for the duo.
