Kevin Owens is many things, but he’s always on the ball for his friends in real life. An epitome of that trait was on full display recently when the 40-year-old was enjoying a Dune Baggy with Cathy Kelley in Saudi Arabia. However, that turned nightmarish for both as the sand rail malfunctioned, and they rolled almost four times aboard the buggy.
Cathy, the backstage WWE correspondent, joined B4TheBell, where she opened up about what she believes was the most terrifying moment of her life. She disclosed how her running mate Kevin’s first reaction to the accident was to get her out of harm’s way. Kelley said she’d want to credit him for basically saving her life at that point.
When the sand car went amok, Cathy grabbed the safety rail. The 36-year-old female WWE personality affirmed that they were banged up. However, it could’ve easily gotten worse if not for Owens.
Both of them managed to walk out of the debacle with little to no injuries. Elsewhere in the interview, Kelley described Kevin as someone whom she’s been friends with for many years. I kind of credit him for saving my life in that moment.
