In an interview on <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wwe-after-the-bell-with-corey-graves\/id1483233538\">WWE&#8217;s After the Bell podcast<\/a>, Owens spoke about Sami Zayn&#8217;s WrestleMania 38 match with Johnny Knoxville and then revealed who his celebrity pick would be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve always welcomed people from the outside in, if they\u2019re cool,&#8221; Owens said of dealing with celebrities. &#8220;Some of them aren\u2019t cool and as far as I\u2019m concerned, those guys can just go back from where they came from, we don\u2019t need you. I did interviews before WrestleMania and people were asking me &#8216;if you could pick a celebrity to have a match with, like Sami\u2019s doing this weekend, who would it be?&#8217; He\u2019s my favorite actor, which happens to be a coincidence but a few years ago Matthew McConaughey came to a show and he was backstage. I didn\u2019t get to meet him because there was a lineup of people waiting to talk to him so I didn\u2019t get to see him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I remember not long after that he talked about how he\u2019d love to do something in WWE,&#8221; Owens said. &#8220;I don\u2019t know him. I don\u2019t know him at all but to me he seems like the kind of guy who would be coming in to do it right and have a blast. People like that to me are welcome in our industry any time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Owens had a memorable match at WrestleMania 38 as well, facing &#8220;Stone Cold&#8221; Steve Austin in Austin&#8217;s first match in 19 years. Austin defeated Owens with a Stunner. That match was the main event of night one.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/04\/22\/bret-hart-reportedly-signs-lucrative-contract-with-wwe\/\">Bret Hart reportedly signs lucrative contract with WWE<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3792250410\"><div id=\"pwtor-1314436132\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>If Kevin Owens could have a celebrity match with anyone in the world, he&#8217;d choose Matthew McConaughey.
