At the highly anticipated Money In The Bank event tonight, WWE superstar Kevin Owens will be competing in front of his hometown crowd in Toronto, Canada. However, before the match, he took a moment to address the audience with a heartfelt and emotional message.
Owens revealed that his mother had fallen ill this week and is currently in the hospital, fighting with all her might. Despite spending the week by her bedside, Owens made the decision to still participate in the big event, alongside his teammates Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, as they take on their rivals, The Bloodline.
In a candid speech on Friday Night SmackDown, Owens opened up to the fans about the emotional toll of the past few days. He shared that he received a call from his father on Monday, informing him of his mother's condition and urging him to come home. Without hesitation, Owens boarded a flight back to Quebec, where he has been since.
He explained that the hospital where his mother is being treated is the same one where he was born, and he has been there with his father and brother, watching his mother fight with all her strength. Owens also expressed why he chose to leave his family in Montreal and continue with the scheduled shows this weekend.
With tears in his eyes, Owens revealed, "In the same hospital where she gave birth to me, with my dad and my brother at her bedside, watching her fight like hell." He acknowledged that his mother's absence from the show was a difficult reality for him and his family, especially since the Toronto shows are always a special time for them.
But despite the support and understanding he would have received if he had decided to withdraw from the event, Owens knew that his mother would have been unhappy if he missed out on doing what he loves. "But my dad and my mom are not here tonight, they won't be here tomorrow, because my mom is still in that hospital bed fighting like hell," he shared.
At this point, Owens' passion and drive for his profession were evident, as he spoke about his love for wrestling and how his mother has always been his biggest supporter. "But my mom is not here, and she would not have been happy if she knew that I had missed a show because of her," he said. "She'd be so pissed."
As Owens turned his attention to his upcoming match against The Bloodline, he made it clear that his mother's strength and determination would inspire him to give it his all in the ring. "I am more serious than I have ever been in my entire career," he declared. "Tomorrow, win, lose, or draw, all I care about is that I do what my mom has wanted me to do for the last four years."
With a fierce determination in his eyes, Owens promised to not only defeat their rivals but to do it in a way that would make his mother proud. "And that is not just kick the living hell out of The Bloodline, it's to beat their asses worse than ever before," he declared.
The Money In The Bank event airs tonight on the WWE Network, and Owens' fans and family will surely be watching and cheering him on, including his mother, who has always been his biggest fan. As Owens concluded his emotional speech, he reminded everyone, "So here I am, fighting like hell, just like my mom would want me to."
