The duo from Montreal, Quebec, Canada were best friends before WWE. Together, they built up their names on the independent circuit, even winning tag titles in the process.

Sami Zayn was first signed to NXT in 2013, with Owens joining him the following year. His debut was marked with a vicious attack on Zayn. They have produced stellar matches with and against each other throughout the years.

In an interview, Owens spoke about his friendship with Sami Zayn, even calling him his brother.

"I would say that we are more like brothers than we are friends. You know you don’t choose your relatives, you don’t choose who your brother is, you don’t choose who your sister is, you don’t choose your family. You were born into a family. In this case, we weren’t born into each others families but we, from the start of our careers when we started wrestling on the independent scene in the U.S and even back home in Canada... Once we started getting our name out there and more recognized, people just booked us together all the time, and that wasn’t our choice,” Owens disclosed.

Owens is also notorious for trying to pull pranks on Sami. One such instance can be seen below:
