When he looks at everything that Kevin has said and it being about the title, Kevin got to the point where he fleeced him and William Regal. Regal has seen every trick in the book. If Owens was doing this just for the title, Owens got him angry enough to get the non-title match. Then Owens wasn’t going to do the match if it wasn’t for the title.
