A heated rivalry has led to an unsanctioned match between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at the WWE Elimination Chamber.
During Monday’s Raw, Zayn challenged Kevin Owens to a match in Toronto before General Manager Adam Pearce informed him that he wasn’t medically cleared to compete. After Zayn refused to leave, Pearce gave Zayn the match at the upcoming PLE but stipulated that it would be an unsanctioned match—meaning no rules and anything goes.
While speaking on Fightful’s post-Raw show, Sean Ross Sapp pointed out how Owens had been advertised for Monday’s Raw but didn’t appear. It’s unclear why he missed the show.
“I thought that this [segment] played very well thought [and] that this worked out excellently. Kevin Owens was supposed to be on this show. He was advertised for it.”
