The 30th Anniversary episode of RAW kicked off with Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart introducing us to the show before The Bloodline came out. Roman Reigns was on the mic and they were having a trial for Sami Zayn.
Paul Heyman accused Sami of being allied with Kevin Owens from the start and proceeded to show fans footage to prove it. Sami tried to protest, but Reigns told Solo to hit him with the Samoan Spike.
Jey Uso got in the way and showed us his own footage in defense of Zayn, and the crowd chanted 'Sami Uso.' Reigns got up and said that he found Sami not guilty - for now, but has a final test for him at the Royal Rumble.
