Tony Nese talked about sharing a wholesome moment with WWE Superstar Kevin Owens

During his appearance on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Tony Nese talked about a wholesome moment he shared with Kevin Owens after his match against Buddy Matthews at the pre-show of WrestleMania 35. Nese said that Owens came out to give him a hug in front of the crowd which helped him have his WWE WrestleMania moment.

“The last thing is 205 Live of all this. The cool thing about that match, if you listen to the crowd, we genuinely got them. You were able to feel it throughout the match and by the end of the match, we got a standing ovation from people who’d been watching wrestling all week long. Kevin Owens was making his entrance or whatever [for a dark match], he even came out, gave me a huge hug and kind of gave me my moment in front of the crowd and everything. That whole moment, it felt like that capped off WrestleMania for me. That was my WrestleMania experience right there.”

Tony Nese is currently working under Tony Khan in AEW, but fans want him to return to WWE soon to work under Triple H's leadership. It will be interesting to see if the Stamford-based promotion will sign the star again in the future.
