WWE Logic: Kevin Owens never faced Nakamura. But Kevin Steen did.

[@deleted1048]

Wrastling they meant never faced off 1 on 1 in a wwe ring

[@tillylloyd3150]

Wrastling are you saying that Kevin Owens and Kevin Steen are the same person?

[@solice6475]

MY THINKING IS THAT WWE THOUGHT STEEN AND OWENS ARE DIFFRENT LOL!!!!!!

[@robertwetmore7655]

Pimp Smack Mahoney aw why you mad bro? Are you that mad at life that you have to take it out on faceless commenters? I bet your daily life really sucks. I bet you're the downer in the corner of the room at parties who was invited out of pity because your acquaintances thought you should get out more for some social interaction. I bet you make them regret it every time. I feel like I should feel bad for you but I think that's what you want. Good luck out there in the world. You're gonna need it.

[@davidluna7237]

I really really wish wwe would book Nakamura better, they could have had a superstar if they let shinskue cut loose. Thank you ROH for this.

[@MalosiAudios]

That ending was so beautiful, reminded me so much of the Ibushi match. Kevin Steen, a man who just kept fighting.

[@zachlor4579]

I miss Steen in ROH. He was fun and hilarious.

And a legit wrestler too. Owens in Wwe is being underutilized atm and it feels me angry for that.

Have anyone noticed that Kevin Owens (Steen) has never beaten Nakamura in a match

[@sttrogdor93]

lol ROH y'all savage

[@djcass5015]

There like #WWE your not stealing this from us #ROH

[@AngellishV]

ROH be like "We did it first"

[@MCWAY1]

WWE be like "Who cares? We're WWE; we're the big leagues."

[@toni4PF]

MCWAY1 At least ROH has better quality matches that has meaning behind it. While you watch a Hindu as champion with lack of promos, Nakamura being called "The Artist" which is disrespectful imo, and a part time Champion that's just now showing up next week. lol

[@MCWAY1]

Nakamura has only been on the main roster for two months; and he still in a feud (somewhat) with Ziggler. The mere fact that ROH felt they had to pull this stunt shows that they're attempting to punch UP to WWE. ROH is a stepping stone to WWE, not the end destination.

[@polkaproductions9120]

[@charles9124]

Idk what you guys are talking about, Kevin Owens and Shinsuke Nakamura had never wrestled each other, Nakamura had wrestled Kevin Steen though

[@sck1388]

I know it's scripted but that kickout at 1 from that knee from Nakamura (Kinshasa) was one of the most badass moves I've seen in wrestling...Steen was an absolute beast in ROH.

[@assassinkiller437]

ROH is real

[@kevinjackson1275]

Dream match, I wish we could see this again but unfortunately both men have left

[@EliteAdventure5243]

A Fab match , ROH has created so many talented wrestlers

[@jakeryan2109]

Yep a lot of talents that have been getting over, which includes Jay Lethal, Adam Cole, AJ Styles, were all the talents that did get over with the entire territory at the time because of it, anyways.

[@paulweston8408]

Still hard to accept that Vince McMahon told Shinsuke Nakamura that he had to job REPEATEDLY to Jinder Mahal for the WWE title!!!

[@jakeryan9572]

But that happened so that way, they could get Jinder over as the champion that he was who was getting heat, which is something most marks like you couldn't stand seeing anyways.

[@Killerofdemons666]

and to think tonight will make nakamura 4-0 against steen.. yikes..

[@tobiasfarragut292]

First ROH match I’m voluntarily watching in 17 years..🤔

[@HectorD214]

Point number one: probably their SD match won't be as good as this, but still looking forward to it. Second point: obviously wwe knows this match happened, but not in wwe, so technically it is their "first" match.

[@samtheram2832]

They acknowledged that Seth Rollins had faced Samoa Joe in ROH and said that they were having their second match ever when it was their first in WWE.

[@HectorD214]

SamTheRam28 but what does that have to do with this matchup though? I don't watch RAW any ways so I wouldn't know if they said it.

[@samtheram2832]

It means they do acknowledge that people did wrestle outside of WWE. He said they wouldn't acknowledge this match because it didn't happen in WWE but I was pointing out an instance whete WWE did acknowledge a ROH match.

[@tylerdt]

I really hope wwe uses nakamura right he has a lot of talent and the crowds love him and his style

[@emobassist]

This comment didn't age well

Before these guys were wasted in WWE. Man I forgot how cool these two were

[@XMehrooz]

Seeing this in the Hammerstein Ballroom made it even better!!!

[@cobra1xtz]

Man... Ik Shinsuke’ WWE theme was cool and got over.... but Imagine the pop this theme could’ve gotten for his debut.... it’s really not like they couldn’t afford the rights. I just feel like his NJPW theme fits really well for a face run, which he had for a while in NXT and the main roster.

[@SS7SSeaSS]

I often wondered why more wrestlers don't use the throat punch, but after they exchanged a flurry in the opening salvo, I see it's as effective as any other "finisher" especially in the WWE, when anyone can kick out of any finisher at will...except the Khalas and the RR spear/superman punch combo.

[@maskedwalnut]

This Steen dude fights just like Kevin Ownes. And this Shinsuke Nakamura fights just like Shinsuke Nakamura

[@angelusnielson7135]
