Kevin Owens Wants He And Sami Zayn’s Tag Title Reign To Be In The Same Vein As The Usos

Kevin Owens discusses he and Sami Zayn’s undisputed tag team title reign.

Owens and Zayn captured the championship back at WrestleMania 39 back in April, main eventing night one of the show against the then champions The Usos. Since then, the pair have successfully defended the championships against several different opponents.

Speaking to Alex McCarthy of Inside The Ropes, Owens commented on winning the titles.

“One of the things that I was concerned about before winning them is that when we did get them, I wanted to live up to the Usos title reign. They did a lot for these titles. They worked very hard to get them to the point where they could main event WrestleMania. A lot credit goes to them for that. Honestly, so far in our run, I don’t think we’re anywhere near that. I really want to work really hard, and once we’re all said and done with these titles and somebody else takes them from us, I want to our run to be talked about in the same vein as the Usos. That’s a challenge in itself, they did really incredible. If anything, now, finally, they’re getting their flowers. They’ve been, in my opinion, underappreciated for a long time. That was a big concern to me. I want to live up to the work they’ve done and we’re working our heart out to try to make sure that happens. That’s the one concern for us, to make sure these titles stay at the forefront of stories and keep being as important as they’ve been the last few months.”
