*Toot Toot*.

That's not the sound of the Sami Zayn Pain Train (nor the trucks delivering the money to his house when that t-shirt sells out), but this author's own horn having actually dared to invest in the product enough to reap the rewards.

The late inclusion of 'The Underdog From The Underground' into the storyline did at long last proffer a benefit to an actual pro wrestler from yet another Shane McMahon ego trip. 'The Money' couldn't give less of a sh*t about flooring Zayn two weeks ago, and disrespectfully brushed him aside on the go-home show before another blistering war with Owens at the climax of the broadcast.

He may live to regret advising Sami to take care of his own business though. Words that hung with Zayn as profoundly as Owens' castigations of his main roster failings a week earlier, McMahon's dismissal was the last prod he needed to take matters into his own hands, or in this case the lifeless frame of his hated rival.

Hauling Owens from the table as Shane made his predictable plunge, Zayn took a shortcut he pledged he never would. Could the only way now finally be up, after watching the bosses son take the hardest fall down?
