On last week’s Friday Night Smackdown, Kevin Owens battled Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews with title on line and also Commander Azeez banned from ringside. But before the match starts, Commander Azeez attacked Owens at backstage with Apollo Crews command.

On the latest edition of Talking Smack co-hosted by Paul Heyman and Kayla Braxton, Kevin Owens appeared as special guest and addressed the Apollo Crews and Azeez actions on Smackdown. He stated that he wasn’t blaming them because he also used those tactics when he was champion.
“There is no frustration. If I was mad at Apollo Crews for the way he handled things, if I was mad at Roman Reigns for the way he handled things, I’d be a really huge hypocrite. I did all of that stuff when I was a champion. I had people help me, I had people fight my battles for me, I did a lot of underhanded sh**t to a lot of people. It’s fine. It’s fine because Apollo and Roman, both those guys had a measure of success before they chose to go that rout, but it was never…never like the success they’re enjoying now. So I get it, I totally get it and it’s fine,” said Kevin Owens.
However, Kevin Owens still fought Apollo Crews but unfortunately he lost the match. Following the match, his arch rival Sami Zyan came out and attacked Kevin Owens with Helluva Kick. Sami yells at Owens he didn’t do that but it was his karma. It seems that once again we go see the feud between Kevin Owens and Sami Zyan.
