Kevin Owens is often called as the ‘Prizefighter’ as he never backs down from a fight. Despite not being a 100%, Owens set out to teach his former best friend Sami Zayn a lesson. However, ‘The Great Liberator’ defied the odds and picked up a huge victory over Owens. No one really saw Sami Zayn’s victory [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-sami-zayn-shocks-kevin-owens-at-wwe-hell-in-a-cell-with-a-helluva-victory/] coming, so it was a nice surprise for everyone. Many believed the Owens-Zayn saga would continue for another PPV, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

(Photo by JP Yim/Getty Images) KEVIN OWENS TAKING A LITTLE BREAK FROM WWE FOLLOWING HELL IN A CELL 2021 Kevin Owens took to Twitter sometime ago to finally break silence following his loss to Sami Zayn at Hell in a Cell. He wrote that he fought like hell and gave it his all. He added that he needs a break and assured the WWE universe he will be back soon. Owens concluded the tweet thanking fans for their support.

The ‘Prizefighter [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-owens]‘ has taken no days off since his initial feud with Aleister Black on Raw and then after moving to SmackDown following the WWE Draft. He worked an extensive feud with Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship for almost three long months! Right before WrestleMania, Owens and Zayn [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sami-zayn/] reignited their rivalry after Owens rubbished Zayn’s conspiracy claims. The two put on an exciting match at WrestleMania (which is completely normal, given they deliver classics every time) which saw Owens walk out with the win. It all seemed done and dusted as KO rerouted his focus on winning the Intercontinental Championship. It is during this championship pursuit that he rekindled his rivalry with Sami leading to the Hell in a Cell match, which as we know, Sami won. All in all, Owens has taken no days off since over one and half year now. He is one of WWE’s top stars and can do absolutely anything he is pitched. So this little break is a well-deserved one. We hope he comes back more focused than ever in quest of championship gold! Jackson?

<h2 style="text-align: center">Kevin Owens 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Kevin Yanick Steen, better known to the WWE Universe as Kevin Owens, is a professional wrestler from Quebec, Canada, currently signed to the Raw brand of the WWE. Owens is widely regarded as one of the best talents of the modern era with his fan following almost assuming a cult status.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Coming from a humble background, Owens had to cut his teeth on the independent circuit before even dreaming of the bright lights of WWE. However, such was his dedication, that despite not knowing a word of English as a child due to his native language being French, he watched episodes of Raw to learn the language. Contrast that with today when he is considered one of the best talkers in all of sports entertainment.</p>


[caption id="attachment_451609" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-451609 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1170069748.jpg" alt="Owens during a Live event" width="1920" height="1280" /> MARCO POLO ORTOGAS, PASIG CITY, METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES - 2019/09/20: WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens had a meet and greet session with the members of the media in Manila last September 20 to promote the upcoming WWE Live Event at the Araneta Coliseum later that night.

<p style="text-align: center">Kevin began his career with the ring name Kevin Steen which gave him widespread popularity in the independent circuit. Along with his best friend Sami Zayn, he dominated the rosters of Ring of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerilla. He began his career in the year 2000 at the young age of 16.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">After years of dedication and hard work, WWE came calling. He was signed to the developmental brand of NXT in 2014. Owens is regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern NXT that converted the once redundant brand into a global force to reckon with.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">His run in NXT reached its zenith after he betrayed his long time friend Sami Zayn in pursuit of the NXT Championship. Owens became the Champion after an iconic rivalry with his fellow Canadian that kickstarted a heel run that took Owens to the stratosphere.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">In fact, his main roster debut came even while he was still the NXT Champion. He answered the US Open challenge of the legendary John Cena and went on to defeat him for the United States Championship, something that shocked everyone and instantly made Owens a bonafide star.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Owens would lose his NXT Championship after a great feud with Fin Balor, completely transitioning to the main roster.

<p style="text-align: center">Kevin Owens had a career-defining rivalry with authority figure Shane McMahon. At one point in their rivalry, Kevin Owens was fired from WWE and even filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against McMahon.

<h2>Sami Zayn 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
WWE has gone for the maniacs before, but no one pulls it off quite like Sami Zayn. ‘The Untouchable’ has been a massive crowd attraction for WWE and is a key part of the main roster today.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/all/2019/04/Sami_Zayn-bio--c1418ad5ede8c73e8dc5df623780d5bd.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

His persona of an annoying yet capable star has really taken off with the crowd. Zayn pushes the limits of his character, which gets more and more cringe each day but does not fall over the edge.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

The in-your-face persona of Zayn has really made people enjoy his antics, and even though it doesn’t keep him in the serious part of things, he can not be taken lightly.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

[caption id="attachment_420623" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-420623 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201023192526/GettyImages-643891640-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1157" /> DUESSELDORF, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 22: Braun Strowman (L) is attacked by Sami Zayn (R) during to the WWE Live Duesseldorf event at ISS Dome on February 22, 2017 in Duesseldorf, Germany.

<h2>History</h2>
<h3>Early Career and Promotions</h3>
Sami Zayn worked hard like any wrestler to get where he is today. He worked for several developmental promotions such as International Wrestling Syndicate, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Chikara, and ROH (Ring of Honour) before making it to NXT.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/112/814/El-Generico_crop_north.jpg?1358794735&amp;w=3072&amp;h=2048" alt="" width="1440" height="960" data-noaft="1" />

Many may not know it, but the ‘Battery Man’ wrestled for 13 years of his wrestling career wearing a mask; he called himself El Generico. However, when he joined NXT, he took off that mask.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Sami Zayn had a boatload of experience owing to his knowledge from the best of the promotions. While most wrestlers choose one, Zayn went through it all.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8f/c6/55/8fc655e016a5d762877e33499b2d6a12.jpg" alt="" width="4288" height="2848" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>WWE NXT</h3>
Coming into WWE’s developmental brand, Zayn already had 11 years of experience in him from his past wrestling endeavors. And his skill quickly placed him above the rest.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/63TiOlxIKjucAFGzrjh1t-n36es=/0x0:708x472/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49917993/NXT_REV_Photob_54-4035331215.0.0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1310" height="873" data-noaft="1" />

Zayn became so good that he even called himself ‘The Heart and Soul of NXT’ for a while. In his debut year, Sami Zayn worked the entire time towards the NXT Championship.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

From his first match in January 2013, he worked his way up to the title but was pushed down. He finally managed to clinch it in December that year with a victory over Neville.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/tribdem.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/4d/34d197e0-8737-11e4-b8d0-b363d40ac74f/5493a9060d278.image.jpg" alt="" width="1020" height="680" data-noaft="1" />

‘The Untouchable’ lost his title after 62 days following a disastrous defeat at the hands of Kevin Owens, who would go on to have a major role in Zayn’s career.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>WWE Main roster</h3>
Sami Zayn made it into the main roster and found himself among the biggest names in the business. He quickly got into a feud with an old rival, one that took the gold away from him.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2017/03/160_RAW_03272017jg_3850--bee872d0b5beacee1234fb8831d621f0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Sami spent the better half of the year in a storyline against Kevin Owens, who had already stirred the main roster after his arrival. Zayn also feuded with Braun Strowman, against whom he didn’t stand a chance.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Not long after winning the feud against Owens, the two teamed up to fight the authority that is Shane McMahon. Sami and Owens, gelling well due to their long real-life friendship, managed to work splendidly together.

[caption id="attachment_420624" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-420624 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201023192550/GettyImages-643915252-1.jpg" alt="Sami Zayn" width="1920" height="1173" /> DUESSELDORF, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 22: Sami Zayn arrives during to the WWE Live Duesseldorf event at ISS Dome on February 22, 2017 in Duesseldorf, Germany. (Photo by Lukas Schulze/Bongarts/Getty Images)[/caption]

It would take Sami Zayn a brand switch to SmackDown to be recognized as his own wrestler. Now, much more free and annoying, Zayn was a crowd-pleaser and was splendid in promos.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>Intercontinental Championship reigns</h3>
WWE decided to reward this energy by putting the WWE Intercontinental Championship on his shoulders. Unfortunately, this title would not stay with him for long.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements WWE has gone for the maniacs before, but no one pulls it off quite like Sami Zayn. ‘The Untouchable’ has been a massive crowd attraction for WWE and is a key part of the main roster today.  His persona of an annoying yet capable star has really taken off with the crowd. Zayn pushes the limits of his character, which gets more and more cringe each day but does not fall over the edge.  The in-your-face persona of Zayn has really made people enjoy his antics, and even though it doesn’t keep him in the serious part of things, he can not be taken lightly.  DUESSELDORF, GERMANY &#8211; FEBRUARY 22: Braun Strowman (L) is attacked by Sami Zayn (R) during to the WWE Live Duesseldorf event at ISS Dome on February 22, 2017 in Duesseldorf, Germany. (Photo by Lukas Schulze/Bongarts/Getty Images) History Early Career and Promotions Sami Zayn worked hard like any wrestler to get where he is today. He worked for several developmental promotions such as International Wrestling Syndicate, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Chikara, and ROH (Ring of Honour) before making it to NXT.  Many may not know it, but the ‘Battery Man’ wrestled for 13 years of his wrestling career wearing a mask; he called himself El Generico. However, when he joined NXT, he took off that mask.  Sami Zayn had a boatload of experience owing to his knowledge from the best of the promotions. While most wrestlers choose one, Zayn went through it all.  WWE NXT Coming into WWE’s developmental brand, Zayn already had 11 years of experience in him from his past wrestling endeavors. And his skill quickly placed him above the rest.  Zayn became so good that he even called himself ‘The Heart and Soul of NXT’ for a while. In his debut year, Sami Zayn worked the entire time towards the NXT Championship.  From his first match in January 2013, he worked his way up to the title but was pushed down. He finally managed to clinch it in December that year with a victory over Neville. ‘The Untouchable’ lost his title after 62 days following a disastrous defeat at the hands of Kevin Owens, who would go on to have a major role in Zayn’s career.  WWE Main roster Sami Zayn made it into the main roster and found himself among the biggest names in the business. He quickly got into a feud with an old rival, one that took the gold away from him.  Sami spent the better half of the year in a storyline against Kevin Owens, who had already stirred the main roster after his arrival. Zayn also feuded with Braun Strowman, against whom he didn’t stand a chance.  Not long after winning the feud against Owens, the two teamed up to fight the authority that is Shane McMahon. Sami and Owens, gelling well due to their long real-life friendship, managed to work splendidly together.

(Photo by Lukas Schulze/Bongarts/Getty Images) It would take Sami Zayn a brand switch to SmackDown to be recognized as his own wrestler. Now, much more free and annoying, Zayn was a crowd-pleaser and was splendid in promos.  Intercontinental Championship reigns WWE decided to reward this energy by putting the WWE Intercontinental Championship on his shoulders. Unfortunately, this title would not stay with him for long.  Sami Zayn was stripped of his reign due to his inability to defend his title in the pandemic. It was a harsh end to his successful run, but the story was not over yet.  ‘The Untouchable’ made his much-awaited return in August 2020 to reclaim his gold.
