Not only should Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn fight forever, it seems like they already have been. The two Quebecois first crossed paths in Montreal's International Wrestling Syndicate, becoming real-life best friends. Since then, they've battled - and sometimes teamed - in CZW, PWG, Ring of Honor, NXT, and WWE.

The likable Zayn is the babyface in their encounters, while natural heel Owens - who's usually betrayed his friend leading up to their programs - plays the bad guy with aplomb. When they wrestle, Zayn puts his body on the line and Owens puts Zayn's body on the line as well. Whether he's Kevin Owens or Kevin Steen, his capacity for violence is legendary.

The most recent feud between the two began the evening Zayn finally won the NXT Championship. Owens, who had debuted for the brand earlier in the show, embraced his friend, then attacked him. Owens would end up capturing the title from Zayn, then debuting on Raw while Zayn was out with an injury. Now, Zayn has made his Raw debut and he's looking to finally get revenge with a match at Payback.

Zayn and Owens will be inextricably linked throughout their careers, and that's not a bad thing.
