The latest rivalry between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will culminate at this year’s WrestleMania at Raymond James Stadium. Owens and Zayn’s current feud involves YouTuber and social media personality Logan Paul who will be a part of their WrestleMania match as Sami’s guest.
Owens and Zayn have had matches that date back to over a decade ago and they dove into their respective careers while speaking with Pat Laprade of TVA Sports. Laprade published an extensive feature about the history of the former El Generico and Kevin Steen and during their conversation, Owens stated that he pitched the idea of a Sami Zayn feud to Vince McMahon in September of 2020. It wasn’t until recently that company officials came to him and Zayn about the idea.
In September, I proposed the idea to Vince McMahon, and then I didn’t hear about it again. It’s the WWE executives who have come back to us with this lately. It was inevitable and logical in the following. As our careers have developed, a one on one match at WrestleMania is like the crowning of our career.
It hadn’t struck me yet before I saw the graphic that formalized our match. Having a one-on-one match at WrestleMania is more and more rare, more and more difficult. So for us it’s a special accomplishment. So doing it together means more to us. It’s a big opportunity, there is no doubt about it.
