by Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens wrestled The Usos for WWE Undisputed Tag Titles at WrestleMania 39. It was a very hard fought match, but eventually Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens defeated The Usos.
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens had a great tag title reign but WWE believed their singles run would be better. So Kevin Owens and Sami lost the title to Finn Balor and Damian Priest. Kevin Owens was traded to SmackDown as an exchange for Jey Uso.
Sami Zayn recently was interviewed by Joseph Staszewski of New York Post, where he talked about tag team split and Kevin Owens traded SmackDown
“I do think there is more we could have done with the tag team titles and I think there is a lot of fun character stuff to explore that we never really got to explore. For example, when Kevin was having those enraged sorts of outbursts, I thought there was a lot of really fun stuff we could have done that was entertaining. I had all kinds of ideas to go to counseling and all kinds of things. That never really got to happen.”
“I’m kind of pleased with the fact we kind of went in separate directions in a way that isn’t similar to ways we have done it in the past where one guy invariably turns on the other and then get into a program with each other once again.”
“I’m sure Kevin and I will wrestle once again and one of the keys to kind of keeping it fresh over the years is a little time and space, a breathing room in between so those characters can evolve in their own ways and then when the reconvene you seeing different versions of those two guys from the last time you saw them.”
