10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (July 11)
9. Sami Zayn Returns The Favour From SmackDown
On SmackDown, Kevin Owens didn't only assault Sami Zayn after his match with Chris Jericho, he also hurled a drink on Sami to humiliate him. For WWE babyfaces, it should be all about an eye for an eye, something Zayn could keep in mind for the upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw.
As he sits at ringside providing guest narration for Owens against Dolph Ziggler, Sami would repeatedly tease interfering, but then say he's not a coward like Kevin is. As KO brags about his match, Zayn then throws a beverage of his own in his foe's face, before leaping onto him and peppering Owens with punches.
This would directly link back to what happened on SmackDown, but also allow Zayn to get some payback on Owens for attacking him without provocation. KO doesn't need to reveal himself to be a coward by running away; he can attempt to fight back but be overwhelmed by someone who knows him very well.
Grabbing a microphone, Zayn would then say that he's willing to play Owens at his own games.
