The team originated in 2007 in Ring of Honor, where Zayn and Owens were known as El Generico and Kevin Steen (the latter being Owens' real name), nicknamed "Steenerico" by fans, winning the ROH World Tag Team Championship in 2008. They also teamed up on the independent circuit, holding Pro Wrestling Guerilla's World Tag Team Championship twice. Zayn and Owens would sign with WWE in 2013 and 2014, respectively, and have since remained in the company, feuding or teaming up several times over the course of their respective careers in WWE; at WrestleMania 39 in 2023, they would win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship, their first tag team titles in WWE both together as a team and separately. With their victory, they became the first team to hold the ROH, PWG, and WWE tag team championships since its formation in 2007.
