Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated The Usos via pinfall and became the new Undisputed WWE Tag Team champions at WrestleMania 39 Night 1.
Kevin Owens had been engaged in an on-again, off-again conflict with The Bloodline since late 2020. In November 2022, Owens and his best friend Sami Zayn were on opposite sides in a WarGames match against The Bloodline at Survivor Series. Zayn had become an honorary member of The Bloodline in mid-2022, and he ended up betraying Owens, leading to The Bloodline’s victory.
At the 2023 Royal Rumble, Reigns defeated Owens, after which The Usos and Solo Sikoa attacked Owens while Zayn looked on uncertainly. Roman Reigns ordered Zayn to attack Owens with a steel chair, but Zayn instead attacked Reigns, leading to a further attack by the rest of The Bloodline. Later, Reigns defeated Zayn at Elimination Chamber, but Owens intervened to prevent The Bloodline from continuing their assault on Zayn. Zayn suggested that he and Owens should team up against The Bloodline, but Owens declined, stating that he only helped Zayn to spare his family the distress he experienced at the Royal Rumble.
Zayn attempted to persuade The Usos that Reigns was manipulating them, but Jimmy remained loyal to his family, while Jey’s loyalty wavered. On the March 20 episode of Raw, The Usos accepted Owens and Zayn’s challenge for a match at WrestleMania 39 for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship, which was scheduled for Night 1.
At WrestleMania 39 Night 1, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens defeated The Usos via pinfall and became the new Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. At the closing moments of the match, Jimmy and Jey both go up top and hit stereo Uso splashes to Owens. Jey covers but Owens kicks out and no one believe it. Jey leans Owens up in the corner, then The Usos double superkick him to drop him in the corner. Jimmy says it’s time for a big one. They take Owens to the top but Sami pulls Jimmy to the floor and tosses him over the announce table. Owens slams Jey to the mat from up top with a super Brainbuster.
