2004:
- Kevin Steen vs. El Generico – PWG Free Admission (Just Kidding!) – Steen’s debut PWG match.
2007:
2009:
- Kevin Steen & El Generico Vs The Young Bucks - ROH Final Battle 2009 – After teaming with long-time friend El Generico for over 5 years, Steen would turn his back on Generico by kicking him in the balls and attacking his former long-time tag team partner.
2010:
- Kevin Steen Vs El Generico – ROH Final Battle 2010 – 4 ¼* - One year since Steen brutally turned his back on Generico they would finally meet in the squared circle to settle their differences. A year of build up helped us get to this match, I wish I could find a link for this match so people could watch it.
2011:
- Kevin Steen Vs El Generico – PWG Steen Wolf 2011
2012:
- Kevin Steen Vs Michael Elgin – ROH Glory by Honor XI – 4 ½*
- Kevin Steen Vs Adam Cole – PWG Mystery Vortex
2013:
- Kevin Steen & El Generico Vs The Briscoes - PWG DDT4 2013 - Skip to 120.00. This was El Generico’s last match in PWG and he was placed into a tag team tournament where his partner would be his former tag partner Kevin Steen. The show is actually one of my favourite PWG show’s of all time, and it’s really nice to see the send-off for Generico after the match.
- Kevin Steen Vs Jay Lethal – ROH 11th Anniversary Show – 4*
2014:
- Kevin Steen Vs Adam Cole – ROH/NJPW Global Wars 2014 – 4 ¼*
- Kevin Steen Vs Shinsuke Nakamura – ROH/NJPW War of the Worlds– 3 ¾*
- Kevin Owens Vs CJ Parker – NXT TakeOver: R-Evolution – 2 ¼* - This was Kevin Owens NXT (WWE) debut match and he was so over with the crowd. A few fun facts was that within 5 minutes he would get his nose broken by an open palm punch by Parker, and that he was actually a babyface in this match but by time the show ended he would turn heel by attacking newly crowned NXT Champion Sami Zayn.
2015:
- Kevin Owens Vs Sami Zayn – NXT TakeOver: Rival – 3 ½* - Kevin Owen promised to the WWE Universe that no matter what ‘two months to the day he was going to become the NXT Champion’, and that’s what he did. He completely destroyed Sami Zayn with a series of powerbombs which lead to referee stoppage.
- Kevin Owens Vs John Cena – WWE Elimination Chamber 2015 – 4 ½* - In shockingly fashion Owens made his WWE main roster debut in less than 6 months of his NXT debut. Which I believe could be a record for any previous NXT superstar. The reason for the early call up may have to do with Sami Zayn getting injured in his Raw debut match. This was in the midst of Cena’s mid-card matches for his United State championships, but this match was Kevin Owens debut WWE PPV match, and guess what.. He defeated the ‘face that runs the place’ clean nonetheless.
- Kevin Owens Vs Cesaro Vs Randy Orton – Raw 10/08/2015 – 4 ¼* - When Kevin Owens first made his debut on the main roster WWE people were so excited for the multiple match-ups that he could have. This is one of the funnest triple threat matches in recent history that doesn’t get enough recognition.
- Kevin Owens Vs Finn Balor – NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn – 4 ¼* - This would be the rematch for their first match in Japan several weeks prior for the NXT Championship. This was the second ladder match for the NXT Championship in history and these men had tough competition on their hand, they had to try and compete with the previous ground-breaking match Bayley Vs Sasha Banks. This would also be Owens final match in NXT which made it even more special.
- Kevin Owens Vs Ryback – WWE Night of Champions 2015 – 2 ½* - This was Owen’s first championship win on the main roster.
- Kevin Owens Vs Dolph Ziggler Vs Dean Ambrose - Smackdown 22/12/2015 - This was one of the last matches of 2015, and was called one of the Best Matches of Smackdown in 2015, and it really showcases these three mens skills in the squared circle.
2016:
- Kevin Owens Vs Dean Ambrose – WWE Royal Rumble 2016 – 4 ¼* - A very fun and brutal Last Man Standing match to start the year for WWE, easily an earlier contender for match of the year. This feud actually helped a lot of people see the returning prestige of the Intercontinental championship.
- Kevin Owens Vs Dean Ambrose Vs Dolph Ziggler Vs Tyler Breeze Vs Stardust – Raw 15/02/2016 - This is a very fun, short match from early 2016 which very little people seem to remember – it resulted in Owens winning his second Intercontinental Championship win.
- Kevin Owens Vs Zack Ryder Vs Dolph Ziggler Vs Sami Zayn Vs Sin Cara Vs Stardust Vs The Miz – Wrestlemania 32 – 4 ¼* - 7 of WWE’s top mid-card guys going at it, at the ‘biggest’ Wrestlemania of all time. A lot of people consider this one of the only good matches from this Wrestlemania. This match is really fun and allows all participants in the match to get their shots in. It’s great to see that on Kevin Owens Wrestlemania debut he gets one of the biggest ovations at that Wrestlemania.
- Kevin Owens Vs Chris Jericho Vs Cesaro Vs AJ Styles – Raw 04/04/2016 – 4* - The night after ‘Mania can be seen as a ‘reboot’ after a meh Wrestlemania. The main event featured four guys who wanted to become the number one contender for Roman Reigns newly won WWE Championship – however there would only be one phenomenal winner. However, another intriguing point of this match was that it was the return of Cesaro, who was injured and missed Wrestlemania the previous night.
- Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn Vs Cesaro & The Miz – Raw 16/05/2016 - For the first time in WWE history both Owens and Zayn would team up with one-another per orders of Shane McMahon. I feel like this match was just a tease of what we will get from these two in the future.
- Kevin Owens Vs Sami Zayn Vs Cesaro Vs The Miz – Extreme Rules 2016 – 4 ½* - One of the best multi-man matches of 2016 so far this match put two feuds together and just let it be an all our brawl. Highly recommend everyone watches this match because at the end of the year when people discuss best matches this will be talked about a lot.
- Kevin Owens Vs Sami Zayn Vs Dean Ambrose Vs Alberto Del Rio Vs Chris Jericho Vs Cesaro – Money in the Bank 2016 – 4 ¼* - This is also a really good Money in the Bank match which I recommend people to watch. It helps continue the ongoing almost two-year feud between Owens and Zayn.
- Kevin Owens Vs Sami Zayn – WWE Battleground 2016 – 4 ½* - A match that was nearly two years in the making (in WWE) finally comes to a close in possibly one of the best WWE matches for the year. The psychology and ring-awareness from the two really goes to show the connection that these two have with each other. This may be my favourite match between the two of all time.
- Kevin Owens Vs Seth Rollins Vs Roman Reigns Vs Big Cass – Raw 29/08/2016 - Probably important in the long run, Triple H (who was Seth Rollins father figure in the Authority) would turn on him. For what reasons? Completely unknown at this point – but is this the first step into a Seth Rollins face turn and potential great match with Triple H at Wrestlemania? We can only hope so. But onto the more important point of this match, Kevin Owens makes his mark in WWE when he becomes Raw’s version of the WWE Champion and became a main player in the WWE.
- Kevin Owens Vs Seth Rollins – Hell in a Cell 2016 – 4* - To say this feud has been lacklustre would be an understatement, and many matches between the two have fell short – but in this instance these two men went to battle to show that this was a good and meaningful feud. On a card that featured a 2 other Hell in a Cell matches between both Roman Reigns/Rusev and Charlotte/Sasha this was placed as the second Cell match for the night and it is also the match of the night.
- Team Raw (Kevin Owens, Braun Strowman, Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins) Vs Team Smackdown (AJ Styles, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton & Shane McMahon)- Survivor Series 2016 - 4 ½ - For the first time since 2005, the Survivor Series was built strongly around ‘Smackdown Vs Raw’ as all matches bar the main event featured a Brand Vs Brand match. This match was arguably one of the best Survivor Series tag-team matches of all time and was absolutely not predictable, as it featured some of the biggest names in WWE in 2016. One of the many, many great matches from this year.
