On the penultimate SmackDown before WrestleMania, Kevin Owens revealed that this year’s KO-Mania shirt wasn’t about him, but about the man that WWE had been about for most of the last 12 months - Sami Zayn.

It was a terrifically sweet moment shared between lifelong friends - brothers, even - that paid homage to Roman Reigns doing the exact same thing against a much uglier backdrop last summer, and a sign of the finish line for the pair’s Tag Team Title feud with The Usos.

A finish line that simply has to be Night One’s main event. Tag Team Titles are part of the biggest story in the company, one of the most beloved in recent history, and even crucial to WrestleMania getting its true Hollywood ending.

Cody Rhodes helped get the Canadians back together so they could defeat The Usos and tear away at more fraying threads within The Bloodline. It’s a sound plan, should occur across both nights, and leave enormous new questions emerging after the fact.

There are days for Owens and Zayn to feud again, just as there are ones for The Usos to reign as babyfaces rather than a tyrant’s henchmen. WrestleMania 39 is not one of those days. To echo a Cody sentiment, WWE have “done the work”. It’s time to collect from the pay window and put some babyfaces over huge.

Winners - Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
