The speculations about Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn teaming up to eventually lock horns against The Usos in WrestleMania 39 came to be true on WWE Monday night RAW.
On Monday night, Owens and Zayn cut a promo which was interrupted by the Usos. Owens-Zayn challenged Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso for a match against them to defend their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship title at WrestleMania 39. Jimmy was averse to the challenge and refused to accept it. But Jey convinced his brother to accept the contest as it can end the Owens and Zayn problem forever. The Usos then accepted the challenge and thus it became official.
