Kevin Owens Calls Out Matthew McConaughey For WrestleMania 39

Kevin Owens wants to face off against Matthew McConaughey at WrestleMania 39 next year.

In January, the successful actor told Maria Menounos on the Better Together podcast that he was interested by the prospect of stepping into a pro-wrestling ring.

On the latest edition of WWE After The Bell, Owens challenged McConaughey to a match next April:

“If we’re speaking things into existence, WrestleMania 39, come at me McConaughey, I’m gonna f**k you up.”

Noting that he previously missed his opportunity to meet McConaughey backstage, Owens said:

“I did interviews before WrestleMania and people were asking me, ‘if you could pick a celebrity to have a match with, who would it be?’ He’s my favorite actor…a few years ago, Matthew McConaughey came to a show, he was backstage. I didn’t get to meet him because there was a line of people waiting to talk to him, so I didn’t get to see him.

“I would have loved to say hi. I remember, not long after that, he talked about how he would love to do something in WWE. I don’t know him at all, but he seems like the kind of guy who would be coming in to do it right and have a blast. People like that are welcome in our industry anytime.”

Owens notably faced Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 38 in Austin’s first match in 19 years.

WrestleMania 39 will air across April 1-2, 2023 from California’s SoFi Stadium. Austin recently commented on the possibility of an appearance at next year’s event.
