Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn won the Tag Team Title at WrestleMania 39

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens got a major victory over Imperium on the latest episode of RAW.

Earlier tonight on the red brand, Imperium ran into the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. They interrupted Owens and Zayn, who were in the middle of a conversation. When Sami Zayn asked them to come back after five minutes, Imperium didn't take too kindly to the disrespect shown by the tag champs and threatened to come after their title.

Sami then challenged Imperium to a match on RAW. This match marked the first appearance for the stable since they were drafted to RAW. The group was without their leader Gunther who will return next week.

The match itself was decent. Imperium put on a good showing against Kevin Owens and Zayn. However, it wasn't enough for them to get the win as Sami hit his signature Helluva kick on Giovanni Vinci to help his team get the win.
