WWE Smackdown Live: 5 takeaways from this week's episode

# 1: Sami Zayn is a heel

Good brothers

Sami Zayn shocked the world when he helped his arch-enemy, Kevin Owens, in his match against Shane McMahon. Sami Zayn saved Owens from Shane, who took a leap of faith from the top of the cell. Zayn has been a lovable babyface for the entirety of his WWE career and this moment was a shocking turn of events for the 'Underdog from the Underground'.

Fans were still not convinced that Zayn had turned heel, and believed it to be a one-time thing. The reality was still kept a secret, and in this episode, the worst fears of many came true- Sami Zayn turned heel. Zayn was one of the most natural babyfaces on the roster and the decision to turn him heel is a bold move by the creative.

Zayn has certainly got the talent to work in tandem with Owens and make waves in the division, but it remains to be seen where both of them go from here.
