Kevin Owens Says No One Deserved WrestleMania 39 Main Event More Than Sami Zayn And The Usos

Kevin Owens discusses main eventing WrestleMania 39 earlier this month.

Back at WrestleMania 39, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens faced off with long time WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions The Usos in the main event of night one of the event. In the end, KO and Zayn were able to dethrone The Usos and become the new champions.

Owens spoke about the decision for the match to go on last in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport.

“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 a rib injury, but is not expected to miss a significant amount of time.

We will have to wait and see how long Sami and Kevin’s storybook title reign lasts.
