Two years ago, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn enjoyed a triumphant celebration in tandem after they claimed the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 39. Last month, nevertheless, told a much different story as Owens emerged victorious in a brutal Street Fight against Zayn at WWE Elimination Chamber in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Still, the latter stays near Owens’ heart, especially given its location.
“That was really special,’ Owens told “Unlikely With Adrian Hernandez.” “Me and Sami have had a variety of big matches. We have wrestled at WrestleMania a number of times and been in the identical match at WrestleMania. We had a singles match at WrestleMania, that is pretty crazy. We have had just about every form of match against one another in WWE, but to get to do it on the SkyDome [now known as Rogers Centre], dare I say it was probably larger than WrestleMania to us since it’s in front of our countrymen as well.”
“That stadium, I went there for WrestleMania 18,” Owens continued. “That is where I saw my first WrestleMania. It was very special. We wrestled in Toronto so persistently on the independent scene before and now to get to do it at the largest venue in Toronto. Looks as if fans enjoyed the match quite a bit, which also means lots.”
As Owens alluded to, he and Zayn are each natives of the Quebec province in Canada. While Owens originates from the town of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Zayn hails from Laval. After this particular encounter in Toronto, Owens looked to drive Zayn into the exposed concrete, but before he could, Randy Orton returned to stop him (after which RKO him).
