Kevin Owens Reflects On Sami Zayn & The Usos Main Eventing WrestleMania

WWE

The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship was defended in the main event of WrestleMania 39, when Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn ended the Usos’ run with the championships.

Prior to the show, there was discussion about what should close out night one of the show, with the Tag Team Championship match and the SmackDown Women’s Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair being the two in discussion.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Owens discussed how he was pushing for the Tag Team Championship match to main event the show, due to the Usos and Sami Zayn deserving the spot.

He said:

“There was talk at one point before WrestleMania, ‘who is going to be the main event? Is it going to be Charlotte [Charlotte Flair] and Rhea [Rhea Ripley] or is it the Tag team Title match?’ I obviously wanted it to be us because I felt like our story deserved it, 100%.

“As far as matches go, of course that match could main event, no problem. Story wise, to me there is no doubt it should have been us. I really wanted to main event, not for me, I got to do it with Steve [Steve Austin at WrestleMania 38]. Sami and the Usos deserved that. I’m so glad it worked out because they deserved it more than anybody.”

Owens is currently out of action with an injury, with the recent attack angle on Raw being used to cover up for the injury.
