Kevin Owens has been dealing with critics throughout his career, and on Wednesday, his Twitter game was once again on point.
The reigning Intercontinental Champion is agile for a 266 pound man, but there were a lot of skeptics who didn't believe he would ever be given a shot by the WWE due to his look. One NXT Championship and two WWE Intercontinental Championship reigns later, Owens is actively proving his critics wrong.
Kevin Owens Has Big Plans For WrestleMania
That doesn't stop his detractors from showing up in droves.
One fan attended Tuesday's SmackDown tapings in Ontario, Calif., and brought a sign along with them lambasting the Superstar for his weight.

The sign was confiscated by event security, but when another WWE Universe member brought the insulting banner to Owens' attention, he just couldn't resist verbally body slamming the heckler.
Owens, who is never shy about ripping into fans on Twitter, noticed the fan wasn't exactly in the best shape of their life, either, and honed in on it.
@FightOwensFight I applauded when they took this kids sign. Wish you had ripped it pic.twitter.com/CisZhmOJBE

Considering the source and the fact that he was most likely out of breath from making the sign, it didn’t bother me. https://t.co/bN551knLDA — Kevin Owens (@FightOwensFight) February 17, 2016
The former Indy darling definitely won this battle of wits.
While the fan is sure to become an Internet sensation for all the wrong reasons, Owens will take his Intercontinental Championship into Cleveland for a defense against Dolph Ziggler this Sunday at Fastlane.
For a "fat" guy, Owens' career is certainly thriving.
