Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will sq. off in opposition to The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team name on night time some of the CombatMania 39 on Saturday, April 1.
In the final couple of months, the on-screen affiliation between Owens and Zayn has been not anything in need of a rollercoaster. They have became from competitors to buddies after Zayn famously refused Roman Reigns’ order to overcome Owens with a metal chair on the 2023 Royal Rumble. From that second, Zayn left The Bloodline and ultimately received Owens’ middle to workforce up in opposition to Reigns and Co.

In a contemporary interview with Pat Laprade of TVA SportsOwens reminisced his outdated one-on-one fits in opposition to Zayn at CombatMania 37 and in opposition to Stone Cold at CombatMania 38. The Prizefighter highlighted how The Show of Shows had resulted in sudden duels and raised the bar with the sentiments concerned within the fights.
“In my head, it was going to be hard to beat Sami and me (at WrestleMania 37) just because of the history we had. I thought it would probably be the biggest WrestleMania in terms of emotions and nostalgia. And yet, the year after, look what happens! It’s another moment at the same level. The last three WrestleMania are unimaginable. You go back 10 years in time and no one would have thought that we would have had a match against each other at Mania. 20 years in time and no one would have thought that Kevin Steen would have fought against Stone Cold,” mentioned Owens.
KO additional hailed Zayn and The Usos for hyping the storyline with their gimmicks within the final 12 months. He used to be all reward for the previous Honorary Uce and Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso for his or her hardwork which he concept had resulted in their fit being at par with the name bout between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.
“When we began in WWE, there used to be a small hope that we’d battle as a workforce, perhaps even at CombatMania. Then we did it in 2018 in opposition to Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan. Except this time it is for the Tag Team Championship, within the greatest WWE tale in six months,” mentioned Owens.
Apart from the Roman vs. Cody fit, we’re essentially the most expected fit and I say that with all humility, but in addition with self belief. There are almost definitely people who find themselves extra having a look ahead to our fit than the only between Roman and Cody, on account of the tale and on account of the paintings the Usos and Sami have carried out to get to the place we’re. No one has carried out a greater activity within the final yr than those 3 guys. Again, I do not see how I’m going so that you can beat that subsequent yr,” added Owens.
