#3. Worst: Sami Zayn's continuous downfall on SmackDown

Sami Zayn faced King Corbin in what was hilariously advertised as "the least-anticipated match in SmackDown history". Comedy aside, it was an interesting match from a storyline perspective.

For a while now, we've been seeing Zayn roam around SmackDown with his camera crew trying to film what he claims are conspiracies against him. We all thought it was just Zayn being a bit crazy, but this week, it was revealed to be true.

We put this under the "worst" category because of Zayn's defeat to Corbin. However, we understand that a loss was needed to fuel the storyline. Sami Zayn promptly delivered a Helluva Kick to Kevin Owens for claiming that it was "fair refereeing" when it actually wasn't.

The SmackDown official held Zayn back and prevented him from winning the match. Only Corey Graves seemed to acknowledge it at ringside. We wonder whether this could lead to a WrestleMania match between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. If so, it would be an instant classic.
