Kevin Owens' original finisher in WWE was the "Pop-Up Powerbomb." It's a good modification of the powerbomb where a superstar runs towards Owens and using the momentum, he lifts them up and powerbombs them on the spot.

When Kevin Owens turned babyface, he felt the need to change things up and he looked to one of his greatest WWE idols - 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. While Owens isn't Austin nor will he ever be, there was an edge to his babyface character at the time that made many people use that comparison.

Last year on an appearance on WWE's The Bump, Kevin Owens revealed that he felt the Stunner was the coolest move in wrestling history. Given that nobody was using it at the time, he went directly to 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin himself and asked for permission from the WWE legend:

"He was like 'Yes, go ahead and do it, it sounds great.' . . . Moments like that just still blow me away, and having the guy I looked up the most give me his blessing to use his finishing move that he made famous beyond this industry ,which is pretty wild. Once in a while I still think about him and be like I can't believe I get to do this," said Kevin Owens.
