Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have been friends and rivals for many years now, which is something “KO” says helps bring the best out of him.
Speaking during a recent interview with James Williams, Owens opined on his friendship with the former Bloodline member. He said,
“Sami brings out the best of me as an opponent and as a partner. It sounds exaggerated to say this, especially when people will call themselves that, and it makes me roll my eyes a lot — whether people call themselves ‘great’ or ‘good,’ or even when people say, ‘I’m good at this,’ ‘I’m great at that.’ ‘I’m the best in the world.’”
He continued, “Okay, Sami Zayn is probably the best I’ve ever been in the ring with, and I don’t think I’m the only one who would say that. As far as the athletic side goes, he can do it all,” he added. “From a performance standpoint, from the intensity, the passion he brings, and the connection he has with the audience, very few people have it all like he does.”
