Les réactions furent bien sûr nombreuses – et très positives – sur la victoire de Kevin Owens et Sami Zayn sur The Usos hier soir, à Wrestlemania 39.
En point de presse, Triple H a expliqué que ce match, pour le titre par équipe, méritait d’être le combat principal de la première soirée.
Il souligne que c’était l’histoire la plus importante et émotive.
«It’s all about what is the most impactful, right. As the storyline’s played out heading into WrestleMania to me is the most emotionally and storyline-driven match on the card. I felt like that needed to be, I think we all felt like that needed to be in that spot.
I’ve said this before when people [have said], when we talked before about ‘Oh, you put the women in the main event.’ We didn’t put the women in the main event. That’s the spot. Right? That is the storyline that was driving things to put them in that role. It’s not about giving it to them because they’re women. It’s not about giving it to somebody. Never once did it factor for me. People say ‘Well Tag Team Championships haven’t been in that spot and [it’s] history making.’ I didn’t even know that to be honest with you. It’s about the…talent are talent, Nothing else to it. Talent are talent. Whatever storyline is resonating the most and has the most impact – that needs to be the story that’s told. I think in this case it was the Usos and Kevin & Sami.»
Sami Zayn a rendu hommage à The Bloodline car sans The Usos et le reste du clan, ainsi que la présence d’Owens, ce match n’aurait pas eu la même force auprès des fans.
«There are Hall of Famers, there are world champions, multiple times over. I’m talking some of the best of the best of the best ever that have never gotten to tell a story like this.
So much of it would not have worked without any other individuals. It had to be The Usos and Roman because that is a legitimate, lifelong relationship. It had to be Kevin because that is a legitimate 20-year friendship. And without that level of reality bleeding into story, it just wouldn’t work.»
Kevin Owens a de son côté rappelé son parcours sur la scène indy, de même que celui de Zayn, qui les a conduit à faire une des finales de Wrestlemania ensemble.
«We walked up the ramp, we looked at the WrestleMania set, we turned around and saw the sea of people, the stadium, and the one thing that I said to him was, ‘none of this would have happened without Super Dragon and PWG,’ which was where we made our name here in California. Without the opportunities that [Super Dragon] gave us, I really don’t think things would have turned out the way they did for us. So it meant a lot to be here, to do it here together. And yeah, it’s just really hard to put into words.»
