At WrestleMania 39, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn captured the WWE Tag Team Championship and afterwards they made sure to pay tribute to two legends of tag team wrestling, Jay and Mark Briscoe.

It was an emotional night on Saturday at WrestleMania 39 as Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn finally got the better of The Bloodline as they unseated The Usos as WWE Tag Team Champions in the night’s main event.

At the post-show press conference, Kevin Owens acknowledged The Usos as well as paid tribute to Mark and Jay Briscoe, 13-time ROH Tag Team Champions, and says he hopes they made Jay proud:

“Before I go, two things. The Usos, even though everybody loves them, everybody appreciates them, they’re under-appreciated. They’re the best. Unbelievable. I don’t have enough good words for them. And also, I said PWG helped us get here, Super Dragon helped us get here. There’s two other guys that really helped us get here. Their names are Mark and Jay Briscoe. We lost Jay recently. I really hope we made him proud tonight.”

Taking to social media, Mark Briscoe offered his response and congratulations to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens on their hard-fought win:

“Was on the red eye last night.. @SamiZayn @FightOwensFight just watched the match..tag team action at its finest!! Congrats my brothers LOVE YALL

“@WWEUsos …can’t wait to do it on the other side! ✊🏽 #RESPECT”
