#2. Johnny Knoxville challenged Sami Zayn to a title match on WWE SmackDown

Sami Zayn danced out to celebrate his Intercontinental Championship win on WWE SmackDown. He was delighted to overcome the conspiracies to win the title back after defeating Shinsuke Nakamura.

Zayn promised that Nakamura would get his rematch after his knee was healed. Then Johnny Knoxville interrupted the celebrations. He was prepared to accept Zayn's open challenge for the Intercontinental Championship.

The Jackass star taunted The Great Liberator and got taken down with a couple of Helluva Kicks.

Backstage, Adam Pearce questioned Zayn about his actions. Ricochet arrived to accept the champ's open challenge for the Intercontinental title.

WWE could have done much more with Zayn's celebration. The Great Liberator is one of the most over superstars in the company, and fans can expect the title to become prominent once again.

Knoxville is 50-years-old, but that did not stop him from taking a few bumps in the Royal Rumble match. He may not be the best opponent for Zayn at WrestleMania but could help the company move some tickets and get more publicity.
