– Cole brought up Cena congratulating Owens after their match at Money in the Bank. Owens said he knows the match was great, he’s been having great matches for 15 years. Owens said Cena just showed him respect to hot the spotlight for himself.

– Cole asks where the chip on Owens’ shoulder comes from. Owens said he doesn’t have a chip on his shoulder and takes offense to all the attention he’s getting now on WWE TV, since he’s been defending the NXT Title with pride for months now. Owens says when he signed his contract, it didn’t say he was signing to NXT, it said he was signing to WWE. Owens considers himself a part of WWE and has been working his ass off to bring prestige to the NXT Title. He’s doing what he feels he needs to do to provide for his family and to make his career better.

– Owens is asked what he wants now. He says when the feud with Cena first started it wasn’t about the United States Title. Owens says after Cena disrespected him on Sunday, now he wants to take the United States Title.
