Zayn had taken to X/Twitter to share a few photographs and a wholesome video alongside Becky Lynch and his long-time frenemy Kevin Owens congratulating him on the big one. The three old friends shared a heartfelt moment backstage with Owens, even joking with Zayn about a low blow. Now Owens has broken his silence and had an emotional message for the Undisputed WWE Champion:

“Then. Now. Forever. Balls,” Owens wrote.

Kevin Owens Got Emotional After Sami Zayn Won The Undisputed WWE Title

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have known each other a long time.

They have been on opposite ends of the ring and also fought alongside each other several times in the independent circuit before the two stars joined the Stamford-based promotion, with that tradition continuing in WWE.

After Zayn’s 13-year wait finally came to an end, Owens took to X/Twitter to write an emotional tribute to his friend:

“I’ve missed a lot of things I wish I hadn’t in the last 15 months because of this injury, but today is, by far, the one I wish I had been there for the most. He [Sami Zayn] has brought out the best in me as both an ally and a foe. That’s because he is THE best. When you’re consistently that good for that long, you become undeniable. Sami becoming WWE Champion was inevitable. He has deserved that moment for a very long time, and I am so happy to see him finally get it.”

Kevin Owens has been away for over a year recuperating from neck surgery, and there’s no official word on his return to the ring. Meanwhile, after the latest edition of SmackDown, Sami Zayn will now defend his world title against Cody Rhodes on the upcoming edition of RAW.
