#2 Worst: Sami Zayn gets pinned on the go-home show before Survivor Series, and there's no build for his match at all

There is absolutely no hype for the Sami Zayn vs. Bobby Lashley match at Survivor Series at all. And yet, he was the man to take the pin on the final SmackDown episode before Survivor Series 2020. It just boggles the mind how little the company thinks of the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the mid-card of the company, in general.

And also, the pairing of King Corbin and Sami Zayn prior to Survivor Series was just so weird, as the men themselves protested that they were not a tag team unit.

It's not like there's any kind of long term plan for this unit beyond Survivor Series 2020 especially if you consider that Sami Zayn is the WWE Intercontinental Champion and that he's likely to be in a feud with Daniel Bryan, from the way things shaped up this week. The only positive from this whole debacle was Big E recognizing Xavier Woods as the most underrated performer in WWE.
