Kevin Owens praises The Usos for elevating the stature of tag titles

Kevin Owens praised The Usos' tag team title reign and stated that he and Sami Zayn want to live up to it.
In a recent interview with "Inside The Ropes," Owens stated that The Usos had done a lot to keep the titles relevant, and he wants to do the same.

"One of the things that I was concerned about before winning them [tag team titles] was that when we did get them, I want to live up to The Usos title reign because they ... they did a lot for these titles," he said. "They worked very hard to get them to the point where they could main event WrestleMania ... That's, you know, a lot of credit goes to them for that."

Owens feels that his current tag team title reign with Zayn isn't anywhere near The Usos' dominant run and that they have to work hard to get to that level.

"So, honestly, I don't feel like we've really — so far, in our run — I don't think we're anywhere near that. I really want to work very hard, to once we're all said and done with these titles and you know somebody else takes them from, I want our run to be talked about in the same vein as The Usos," said Owens.
