Kevin Owens won the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship with Sami Zayn in the main event of WrestleMania 39 Night One. The two are set to defend their titles in a rematch against The Usos on the April 28 episode of WWE SmackDown. The decision apparently has something to do with the upcoming Night of Champions Premium Live Event in Saudi Arabia.
WWE will be visiting the kingdom for the event on May 27. It will be a night where every championship will be on the line. According to WrestleTalk, both Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens might miss the WWE show in Saudi Arabia, given their strong stance on the kingdom’s role in Syria.
