Kevin Owens, a 40-year-old former Universal Champion, was visibly upset when he was called to participate in an interview with Michael Cole on SmackDown. Owens, known for his brash and controversial persona, was unhappy about having to travel to Minneapolis, Minnesota, to conduct the interview with the legendary commentator. In a heated exchange, Owens told Cole that if he wanted the interview, he could come to his car in the parking lot, which was conveniently located outside the arena.

Owens’ frustration was palpable, and he even resorted to tagging celebrity names, including Gordon Ramsay and Jessica Simpson, in his tweet, stating that if Cole wanted to interview him, he should have done it from the parking lot. Cole, however, refused to budge, citing the cold weather as a reason for not wanting to venture out of the arena.

The disagreement between the two was aired on SmackDown, leaving many wondering what sparked Owens’ fury. Some speculated that Owens was upset about being called into an interview at such short notice, while others believed that he was simply not pleased with the idea of being interviewed by Cole, who is known for his sharp questioning style.

As the drama unfolded, many fans took to social media to express their reactions, with some siding with Owens’ frustration and others supporting Cole’s decision. Owens, who is gearing up for a massive WWE title match on Saturday, seemed to be in a fiery mood, and many are now eagerly anticipating what may transpire at Saturday’s Night Main Event.

For Owens, this interview was not just about sharing his thoughts with the fans; it was about asserting his dominance and showing that he will not be taken lightly. By refusing to participate in the interview, Owens may have inadvertently created more buzz and attention around his upcoming match, which could ultimately benefit him in the long run.

Cole’s reaction, on the other hand, may have been seen as inflexible and unreasonable by some, particularly given the cold weather conditions. His refusal to venture out into the parking lot may have come across as petty, especially considering the significance of the interview and the controversy surrounding Owens.

In the end, both Owens and Cole came out looking feisty and determined, with Owens refusing to back down from the interview and Cole standing firm in his decision to not participate. As the stakes continue to rise ahead of Saturday’s main event, fans are left wondering what will happen when Owens and Cole finally face off – will it be a battle of words, or a clash of egos? One thing is certain: this feud has only just begun, and the drama is far from over.
