Before arriving on the scene in WWE, both spent several years of the career wrestling on independent circuits too.
Owens recently appeared on After the Bell podcast and said the following things about Sami and his Wrestlemania match against Knoxville –
“This is gonna sound really corny but when Wee Man came out from under the ring and started beating the s**t out of Sami, I got emotional at the reaction. It was so good. People were so happy and I know how hard he works, Sami worked for all of this. He had to fight to get it on the show and then he had to fight to make it good because Johnny Knoxville is amazing, all those guys were incredible, but man, they don’t turn up, they’re not restless, he worked so hard to make that happen,” Kevin Owens said.
