This week's episode of WWE SmackDown looks very interesting on paper

#3 Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn continue their feud on WWE SmackDown

The creative should invest more in this feud on WWE SmackDown

It appears that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are far from done on WWE SmackDown. The two superstars faced each other in a match last week as well. However, the match ended abruptly after Zayn refused to enter the ring. Although Owens got his win via count-out, it was not enough for him. KO then chased Zayn up the ramp and delivered a devastating Stunner.

The creative have done well in adding subtle hints to this storyline that often tease the possibility that Zayn may be right about his conspiracy theories. On the other hand, Owens has been booked as a rational friend who is willing to beat Zayn until he gives up his 'crazy ideas'. Not to forget, the real-life friendship between these two superstars helps them in portraying this feud as convincingly as it can get on WWE SmackDown.

Hopefully, the creative will add more to this storyline in order to make it intense. The product hasn't been that great following WrestleMania, but this is the kind of feud that could keep WWE SmackDown interesting for a long time. It has also given Zayn a chance to exploit his full potential on the Blue brand.
