Kevin Owens has shared his reaction to Sami Zayn finally winning the WWE Championship, reflecting on their long history and the moment he wishes he could have witnessed in person.
Zayn captured the Undisputed WWE Championship at Night of Champions, defeating Cody Rhodes and GUNTHER in a Triple Threat Match. The victory marked a major milestone in Zayn’s career after years of chasing the top prize.
Owens, who has been sidelined with a neck injury, took to social media shortly after the match to express his thoughts. He made it clear that missing this moment was especially difficult given their shared journey.
“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. “He 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.”

Owens continued by stating how deserved the moment was for Zayn, pointing to his consistency over many years.
“Sami becoming WWE Champion was inevitable,” he added. “He has deserved that moment for a very long time and I am so happy to see him finally get it.”
Alongside his message, Owens shared several photos from different stages of their careers. One image stood out in particular, as he explained the context behind it.
“The last one is him putting on my sock in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere in Texas because I thought I had broken my back the night before and could not move. He had to help me put on my boxers too.”
Owens and Zayn have a long-standing relationship that dates back to their early days on the independent wrestling scene. Over the years, they have been both rivals and partners across multiple promotions, including WWE. Their chemistry has led to several notable matches and storylines.
One of their most recognized achievements as a team came at WrestleMania 39, where they defeated The Usos to win the WWE Tag Team Championships. Despite their history of competition, moments like Zayn’s title victory highlight the respect they have for each other.
Owens’ message reflects both personal pride and frustration at being unable to witness the moment live, as Zayn’s long pursuit of the championship finally came to an end.
