Jericho and Owens both agree that the Festival of Friendship segment worked out perfectly. They both credit Kevin Dunn for being the unsung hero of that segment because he produced how the segment was filmed and the shots were great.
Owens admits that he didn’t think he and A.J. Styles had great chemistry during their program last year. Jericho says that they’re both great workers, but sometimes that chemistry simply isn’t there. Owens also wishes that he and Styles had more time to tell a story during their SummerSlam match, but McMahon and the fans liked it anyways so he was happy about that.
Zayn admits that he had knots in his stomach all throughout the day before the Hell in A Cell match between Owens and Shane McMahon. He was very nervous about having to pull Owens off the announce table before McMahon fell on him because if they were off by a second or two that could have been catastrophic. He points out that this was a Hollywood elite-level stunt and they’re not professional stunt men, but they managed to pull it off.
Owens speaks about head-butting Vince McMahon during the buildup for that Hell in A Cell match. He informs that he wasn’t really worried about the spot in advance, but it was a crazy experience to be in the ring with McMahon. Right before Owens head-butted him, McMahon was “talking so much s***” to him and he couldn’t believe it. He was legitimately taken aback by how many curse words McMahon was directing at him.
