Despite the specific instructions from Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn showed up tonight on WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
Sami showed up early in the show because he wanted to personally thank Jey Uso for saving him on Raw. Later in the show, Jey and Jimmy were barred from the building and that led to Jey to make a phone call for a favor.
Sami showed up during the Solo Sikoa vs. Kevin Owens main event. Sami helped Solo avoid a pinfall from KO but then KO ducked out of the way of a superkick from Solo and the kick ended up knocking Sami out.
It’s possible that it was an accident but the replay showed that it was very possible that Solo kicked Sami on purpose. Going into the Royal Rumble, fans are now left to wonder how Roman will react to Sami defying his orders.
