WrestleMania 39 kicked off its first night at SoFi Stadium on April 1st. Despite the controversy surrounding the main event match, fans were eagerly anticipating the spectacle. As the night unfolded, tensions rose, and emotions ran high. In the end, the main event delivered a memorable encounter, complete with a water cooler moment that left fans talking long after the event had ended.
The Usos made their way to the ring at WrestleMania 39 after a little musical performance from Lil Uzi Vert. Then Rikishi’s Twins were ready to go. Their task to retain the Undisputed Tag Team Titles was a tough one, because they needed to topple Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn during one of the hottest times in their careers.
Kevin Owens main evented his second WrestleMania in a row this year, after last year’s encounter with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Sami Zayn was also incredibly over, and fans were singing along to his entrance music in a huge way.
The Bloodline’s saga is one of the best things that WWE has produced in decades. The Usos’ throwdown with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn was a brutal and emotional contest.
Sami Zayn took all the punishment he could from the Usos, but they couldn’t pin him. The same is true for Kevin Owens, as the Prizefighter kept kicking out of everything the Usos threw at him.
Kevin Owens was finally able to make a hot tag to Sami Zayn, who nailed a Helluva Kick on Jimmy Uso. Then he nailed another one before Kevin Owens hit Jey Uso with a stunner, which was followed by a Helluva Kick on Jey.
Then Sami Zayn pinned Jey Uso to secure the win. Now the Usos’ historic title reign is over, and a new chapter can start. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are now WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions.
