Recently on The Steve Austin Show, WWE Hall Of Famer Steve Austin gave his thoughts on SummerSlam weekend. Specifically, on Kevin Owens getting squashed by Braun Strowman at SummerSlam. Austin claimed that the match was "a lot shorter than [he] anticipated" before explaining that he did not appreciate the former WWE Universal champion getting squashed.
"I hope Kevin Owens can claw his way back to where he was. Hopefully, they're booking him to get back to where he was. I'm a big fan of both guys. I'm friends with both guys, but, man, with Braun, Braun is a big guy. And Kevin has been in the picture for a lot of titles, held a lot of titles, and I just thought, 'man, he didn't get s--t in, so, eh, I just wasn't a fan." Austin continued, "yeah, I just didn't think Kevin Owens needed to get steamrolled because he's a top guy. And, obviously, Braun Strowman is still green, but he's a top guy. They're grooming him for bigger and better things, but KO didn't need to get squashed in the process."
