Kevin Owens is one of the most charismatic stars in WWE who can fit into any storyline.

During his independent days, Owens had a successful run in his singles as well as tag team career. Since signing with WWE, he has been winning singles championships on every roster. But his illustrious WWE career lacks one thing: a prominent tag team run.

Despite multiple attempts, the former Universal Champion has never held a WWE Tag Team Championship.

That said, he has had several entertaining tag team partners over the course of his career. But these teams didn't last long as Owens would end up betraying his partners.

On that note, here's a list of superstars who have teamed up with Kevin Owens.


#5. Superstar Dolph Ziggler teamed up with Kevin Owens in 2017

In WWE makeshift tag teams, wrestlers typically need to have the same scenario of needing something new and having the ability to get on the same page in their matches and promos. But Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler had nothing in common.

Dolph Ziggler is known for teaming up with random wrestlers. He has won tag team championships with superstars like Drew McIntyre and Robert Roode.

Fans saw great potential in the tag team but the duo didn't work well together. Both wrestlers were in three tag team matches together in mid-2017 and lost all of them.

WWE then decided to separate them, and after that, they both faced each other in mediocre singles matches and the storyline ended quickly.

#4. Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens teamed up against the Monday Night Messiah

Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins were engaged in a heated rivalry ahead of WrestleMania 36 after the latter called out the entire RAW roster for their poor performance in the Survivor Series. Seth Rollins had joined forces with the AOP prior to WrestleMania 36.

Samoa Joe, who was out of action for five months and had joined the commentary table, was attacked by Rollins and AOP during an episode of RAW. This led to Owens and Joe joining forces.

They both had a brief but successful tag team run, defeating Rollins and AOP multiple times. Joe was sidelined after suffering a head injury during the run. Kevin ended his feud with the Monday Night Messiah after scoring a victory over him at WrestleMania 36.


#3. Kevin Owens ends the Festival of Friendship

On WWE's Road to WrestleMania 33, Owens and Chris Jericho had the hottest storyline in pro wrestling. Amidst their tag team run, Kevin Owens was the Universal Champion and Chris Jericho was the United States Champion.

Both superstars would assist each other to win matches with their dirty tactics. Their friendship was loved by fans. Jericho frequently placed Owens' title reign in jeopardy, which aroused tension between them.

Owens decided to part ways and betrayed Jericho. The tag team disbanded when Owens turned on Jericho during the Festival of Friendship.

This legendary storyline came to an end at WrestleMania 33 where Kevin Owens defeated Chris Jericho for the United States Championship.

#2. Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens 'KO-exist'

Owens and Seth Rollins are currently the talk of the town. The duo have been the highlight of RAW due to their entertaining backstage promos.

WWE Universe has been speculating about Owens betraying Rollins due to Rollins not helping him enter the Elimination Chamber match.

These two superstars are currently co-existing quite well. Fans are wondering where their friendship, with WrestleMania not too far away.
