On SmackDown before Money In The Bank, Kevin Owens revealed that he’s been at his mother’s bedside after she was rushed to the hospital.
He mentioned that his family has been there supporting her, and although he could have missed the show to stay with her, his mother insisted he continue living his dream as a professional wrestler in WWE. Owens said missing the show would only upset her.
Here’s what Owens said in his promo:
“Monday morning I got a call from my dad, telling me that my mom was rushed to the hospital, I needed to get home. So I jumped on a flight and flew back to Quebec, and that’s where I’ve been for the last 5 days or so. In the same hospital where she gave birth to me with my dad and my brother at her bedside watching her fight like hell.
My dad and my mom are not here tonight and they won’t be here tomorrow because my mom is still in her hospital bed fighting like hell. I know I could’ve stayed home tonight and it wouldn’t be a problem with anybody back there or out here, and I probably should’ve stayed home, but I didn’t because the one person it would have been a problem for is my mother.
Because ever since I was 11 years old and I discovered professional wrestling in WWE, she did everything she could along with my dad, to make sure I would realize my dream, get to WWE.
She wanted me to fight like hell. She told me every single time to come in here and leave it all in the ring… so if she knew. If she heard that I missed a show because of her she’d be so pissed, so here I am.”
Kevin delivered good news today – his mother has recovered! Here’s what he tweeted:
“She kicked out.”
