WrestleMania 39 has kicked off, and the fans are already on the edge of their seats. Austin Theory who secured his victory over John Cena won the first match of WrestleMania 39’s Night 1. Every year, the winner of the Royal Rumble gets to the main-event WrestleMania. However, while fans were expecting the same to happen, WWE had a quick change of plans which shocked the fans when a report came out about Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair, not main-eventing Night 1.
Instead, the extremely over pair of Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens would be main-eventing Night 1 against The Usos. The news had the fans extremely excited. Ever since Sami Zayn joined The Bloodline, he has been extremely over, and fans had high expectations of him.

While him and Owens main-eventing WrestleMania has the fans excited, it definitely came at a cost. A few days ago, Flair had discussed this from the standpoint of women, and how it is unfair that women’s Rumble doesn’t automatically get the main event spot like men’s match-winner.
Nevertheless, WWE prioritizes storyline and money over any decision. They decided on letting Sami Zayn main-event the Night 1 of WrestleMania against The Usos. As soon as the news came out, WWE fans were extremely excited and let their joy know. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will create history as a tag-team match main-events WrestleMania for the first ever since the inaugural event.

Also, the first tag team match to main event Wrestlemania since FUCKING MANIA 1.
Also Kevin Owens becomes the tenth man to main event two or more consecutive Manias, joining Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Yokozuna, Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, John Cena, and Roman Reigns.

People better keep this same energy for Owens and Zayn when the bloodline storyline ends
