Kevin Owens comments on Sami Zayn becoming the WWE Champion at Night of Champions
As seen during the 2026 WWE Night of Champions PLE, Sami Zayn defeated Cody Rhodes and Gunther to win the WWE title for the first time in his career. Kevin Owens, who has been out of action, commented on Zayn’s victory in a post via Twitter/X…
“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 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.
Now enjoy these pictures of me annoying him at various stages of our careers. 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.
Look how happy he is…
Now tell me he doesn’t deserve to be champion! @SamiZayn.”
