Watch NXT Champ Kevin Owens Battle Samoa Joe... Ten Years Ago

Kevin Owens takes on Samoa Joe on tonight's highly-anticipated episode of NXT - but it isn't the first time the former darlings of independent scene promotions have battled one another.

Surprisingly, given their reputations before NXT and WWE, the pair had not been matched up all that much previously. However, one such occasion that they were brought together was under the banner of PWG in November 2005.

Interestingly, PWG is where Owens - then going under the name of Kevin Steen - has revealed he first encountered William Regal who was talent-spotting for WWE tryouts.

But who won their Hollywood, California clash for the PWG championship back in the day? Click on the video below to find out.

And click on the two videos below to catch up on their current, captivating feud, including Joe's surprise debut at NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable and his first NXT bout against Scott Dawson.
