Roman Reigns will want to have the last laugh on WWE SmackDown this week

#4 Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to involve in a brawl on SmackDown

Kevin Owens is looking out for his friend

Sami Zayn’s recent run on SmackDown brought him face to face with an old friend, Kevin Owens. Zayn insisted that he is a victim of backstage conspiracies, and KO was not convinced. This marked the beginning of their feud, which led to a match being booked between them at WrestleMania. Last week, Zayn invited Logan Paul as his guest for the premiere of his documentary’s trailer.

The popular YouTuber will be present during the match between Zayn and Owens at WrestleMania. However, the latter has made it extremely clear that internet celebrities do not bother him. Instead, Owens is determined to bring Zayn back into reality by legitimately brutalizing him until he gives up his obsession with ‘conspiracy theories'. Zayn will once again try to get KO on his side, but the latter is expected to hit back with a befitting response on SmackDown.

It’s no secret that Zayn and Owens work wonders together every time they share the ring. They are bound to deliver an entertaining feud and top it off with a memorable match. Zayn is finally involved in a good storyline, something that he has deserved for a long time. The narrative has a lot of potential, and the creative should continue this feud even after WrestleMania.
