Kevin Owens: 'I Honestly Don't Remember Enjoying Being WWE Universal Champion'

Kevin Owens won the vacant WWE Universal Championship back on August 29, 2016 with more than a little helping hand from Triple H.

KO would go on to hold the Universal title for 188 days before eventually losing it to the returning Goldberg in double-quick time at Fastlane 2017.

But ultimately, I was still the Universal Champion. But I honestly don't remember enjoying it, which sucks."
