#2 What is in store for the Sami Zayn-Shinsuke Nakamura feud on SmackDown?

We're not sure whether Sami Zayn is feuding with Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown or Johnny Knoxville. In a bid to prove that he can do anything that Knoxville can, Zayn tried pulling off a somewhat risky stunt, only to back out in the last second.

He was soon met by Nakamura, the Intercontinental Champion who he is set to face soon, as well as Rick Boogz. Boogz would throw him onto the crashpad, while Nakamura would hit a Kinshasa.

Pat McAfee vibing with the air guitar over Sami Zayn was probably the most hilarious moment of the episode this week. The Great Liberator keeps looking like a fool or is presented that way, but that's exactly what WWE wants.

The more he gets beaten down and humiliated, the lesser a chance that people think he has when he eventually faces Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship.

While Sami Zayn might get toppled over in the Royal Rumble by Johnny Knoxville, his third Intercontinental Championship win seems inevitable.
