Here's how top Superstars performed on WWE SmackDown this week

#2 Flopped on WWE SmackDown: Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn deserves a better booking on WWE SmackDown

Don't get me wrong, this match between Sami Zayn and Daniel Bryan started on a high note on WWE SmackDown. For a while, it looked like this Intercontinental Championship match finally brought Zayn back to his best self inside the ring. Unfortunately, that illusion was shattered soon after Zayn retained his title via countout. The creative team might have thought that this is the best decision for the champion, but it ended up making him look incredibly weak.

Sami Zayn became the only champion from WWE SmackDown to lose at Survivor Series 2020 when he got defeated by Bobby Lashley at the recently concluded PPV. It was quite evident that his title reign was nearing its end. But the manner in which it is all happening is quite questionable. Before this, Zayn would at least outsmart his opponent instead of making himself look so weak.

We will probably see Sami Zayna and Daniel Bryan lock horns for the Intercontinental Championship on WWE SmackDown once again. Both Superstars are incredibly talented and can deliver an epic match provided that they are given the time and space to do so. If WWE indeed want to put an end to Zayn's title reign, they should at least ensure that the Champion doesn't end up looking ridiculous. Hopefully, their next match won't meet a disappointing end again.
