Kevin Owens, who has been out of action since prior to WrestleMania 41, reacted to his best friend Sami Zayn winning the WWE title at Night of Champions.

“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,” Owens wrote in a post on X.

Owens credited Zayn for bringing out the best in him both as an ally and a foe because Zayn is “THE best” and when you’re consistently that good for that long, you become undeniable.

He added that Sami become the 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,” Owens wrote.

The two main evented WrestleMania together, teaming up to end The Usos’ historic title reign in the first WrestleMania tag team main event since the first one ever.
