During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Kevin Owens discussed fans approaching wrestlers at airports for pictures and autographs. Owens clarified his stance with the following post via Twitter/X…

“To clarify: If you happen to run into me at an airport or wherever, really, feel free to come talk to me or ask for a picture or an autograph if you want and if I am in a position to oblige, I absolutely will. If you come to the airport with a plastic bin full of merch and wait at baggage claim with 26 other people and get upset when I say I won’t sign but I’m happy to take a picture with you, go have intercourse with yourself. 😘”

When asked why he is more open to taking a picture instead of signing something, Owens stated the following…

“Because a picture takes a second. Usually, the people that are there to sell the stuff we sign have a dozen things to sign. I used to say ‘I’ll sign one’ and still get attitude back or they’d get something signed and then come back again a few seconds later, hoping I didn’t pay close enough attention to who I was signing for and try to get something else signed. It’s like anything else in life…the people that are cool and sensible end up paying the price because of the ones that are selfish pricks. Taking a picture with everyone is my way of making sure the good ones still get something.”
