On tonight's edition of WWE RAW, SmackDown picked Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn to stay on the brand. Kevin Owens, who has had a lot of history with Zayn, reacted to the announcement with a wholesome GIF featuring the duo. Check out the tweet below:
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are no strangers to each other
Kevin Owens' association with Zayn goes way back to the time when they weren't even a part of WWE and were wowing the fans on the independent scene. On NXT, Zayn and Owens had a classic rivalry over the NXT title, and things remained the same when both men moved to the main roster. Later, Owens and Zayn settled their differences and formed an alliance on SmackDown.

The duo feuded with Shane McMahon in early 2018, which led to Daniel Bryan returning to active competition and teaming up with Shane O'Mac to take on the villainous duo at WrestleMania 34, in a winning effort.
On tonight's RAW, it was announced that Kevin Owens was now a part of the blue brand. Now that it's been confirmed that Zayn will stay on SmackDown, fans just might get to see these two Superstars reunite. Owens' tweet is hinting the same, but only time will tell if we will see them join forces on the Blue brand.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
