Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are back in each other’s orbit as Owens is set to compete in the Money in the Bank ladder match for a guaranteed title shot that he could very well use at his best friend’s Undisputed WWE Championship. Owens is no stranger to the match even though he has never won it and he sat down with Katie Kelly on WWE’s YouTube channel before the event to discuss what’s on the line this time around.
Owens said he doesn’t hold any grudges against Zayn for not having to be in the match because he’s the champion. He holds a grudge, however, for another big reason.
“People are well aware of our history and what we’ve done with each other against each other,” Owen said. “He’s the WWE Champion and he deserves it. He’s an incredible champion, an incredible performer. He’s a failure, but that’s okay, and so am I. I don’t know how to say it. Brothers are fighting. A lot. And now we are back in the fight. The only problem is that he kept the championship from me. I’m taking it from him and it’s going to be a rough night for him.
Owens challenged then-champion CM Punk for the goldin the presence of his family in his native Canada, back in August. After the competitors accidentally knocked down the referee, Zayn appeared and urged Owens to use the title belt on Punk, which Owens refused to do. Zayn then hit Owens with the title and Punk retained the championship. Zane would go on on the September 11 edition of “WWE SmackDown” to capture the gold for a second time With a victory over Punk.
