Kevin Owens has revealed a match he had with Sami Zayn at 2016’s Battleground pay-per-view caused Vince McMahon to hug him, something that doesn't usually happen for KO.

In a video released by WWE, Owens said of Zayn and the match:

"He came out at the Royal Rumble and the first guy he went at was me. Then at WrestleMania we had the ladder match with 4 or 5 other guys in it, but we were the focal point of that match, our story was. We had a match at Payback and we had a match with Cesaro the following pay-per-view then we were in the Money In The Bank ladder match together and had some pretty crazy moments together there and finally Battleground."
 
Owens then revealed he received an awkward hug from Vince McMahon when he got backstage:

“Rarely do I like to go back from a match and visibly celebrated. When I know I did good I did good. When I went through the curtain on that one the first thing I did was scream my f*cking head off. I knew it was special because Vince was standing up and when I went over to him to shake his hand he pulled me in for a huge hug and Vince and I don’t f*cking hug. That’s not the relationship that we have.”
