Following their incredibly emotional title win over The Usos at Saturday night’s WrestleMania 39 (Night One) main event, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, the new Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, were over the moon as they made their way to the post-show media scrum, and rightfully so.
Comparing his ‘WrestleMania Moment’ to challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship a few weeks ago at Elimination Chamber in his hometown of Montreal, Sami Zayn said,
“I feel very lucky, because not many people get two WrestleManias in six weeks, but I did. And they’re apples and oranges a little bit, hard to compare them, but they’re two of the biggest and proudest moments of my life. And they just happened to be a mere six or eight weeks apart. That night did feel like WrestleMania. Tonight had the happy ending though, that was nice. And it was with him [Owens], and in LA and everything else. So it’s different.
And I don’t have multiple children, let me preface what I’m about to say with that statement. But I would assume it’s like when you have multiple children and you just love them all in different ways, right? … I don’t know, like I love them both. I don’t hold one [over the other], and I don’t tend to put things in a hierarchy of importance of ‘This was more valuable because it’s on a different platform or whatever, so therefore it’s higher on the totem pole of worth.’ The metrics that I use are like, creative satisfaction and what I was able to create that night. And what I created that night was magical, and what I was able to be a part of was magical. And what I was able to create along with these guys and be a part of tonight was magical. It’s not — it’s apples and oranges, but they’re both delicious and I’m lucky to be eating so much delicious fruit.”
