WWE followed up on their biggest storyline on the blue brand this weekend.As seen on this week’s episode of SmackDown Live in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center on the USA Network, SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan announced that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have been "fired" from WWE due to their attack on Shane McMahon last week on SmackDown.This led to Owens and Zayn beating down Bryan in the ring to close the show.Obviously, this is a storyline and they are still under contract with the WWE. It's been speculated that Bryan will team up with McMahon to take on Owens and Zayn in a Tag Team Match at WrestleMania 34.Owens has been a top player in the WWE since signing with the sports entertainment company, but he has done it as a heel on television.For a background on Owens, you would have to go back to his early career as he began his career in 2000 at the age of 16. He had a run in Ring of Honor (ROH) from 2007 - 2014 where he wrestled under his real name, Kevin Steen.He held the ROH World Championship and ROH World Tag Team Championship. He also wrestled on the independent circuit for 14 years, most notably in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), where he held the PWG World Championship a record three times, as well as the PWG World Tag Team Championship on three occasions.Other promotions that he worked for include International Wrestling Syndicate (IWS), where he held three times the IWS World Heavyweight Championship, All American Wrestling (AAW), where he held the AAW Heavyweight Championship, and Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), where he held the CZW Iron Man Championship.Owens signed with WWE in 2014 and was placed WWE's developmental branch NXT, where he was a one-time NXT Champion. He was called up to the main roster in May 2015.During his time thus far under the WWE banner, he has held the Universal Championship once (being the longest-reigning title holder at 188 days), the Intercontinental Championship twice, and the United States Championship three times.Zayn signed with WWE back in 2013 after finding success on the independent scene under the name El Generico.WWE held a live event on Saturday night in Trenton, NJ at the CURE Insurance Arena and at the event, the two “fired” superstars did an invasion angle as they rushed the ring wearing street clothes.Zayn yelled about how although they loved Bryan, he turned into a corporate sell out. The segment ended once Shinsuke Nakamura’s music hit and that was the end of the angle.
