Will Sami Zayn cost his newfound friend his Championship this weekend?
Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura joined forces a few weeks ago and decided that their first victim would be The Miz. Zayn requested that he be part of Miz TV so that he could unveil Nakamura as his newest client and he has been on hand to attack Miz numerous times over the past few weeks.

Zayn has had a new attitude ever since he returned to WWE following his double rotator cuff surgery last year, which means that he isn't someone that Nakamura should trust heading into a title defense.
Whilst it's unknown as to whether or not Zayn will be ringside since he was chokeslammed by The Undertaker this week on SmackDown, it is completely feasible that he will try to interfere in the match to help his new friend to retain and this could go very wrong.

If Nakamura is disqualified then he will still retain the Championship, but if Zayn tries to get involved and it backfires so that The Miz can take advantage, he will lose his Championship and it could open up the door to a feud between Zayn and Nakamura moving forward.
