Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are doing their best to prove the theory that they don’t need a title – or a legacy, or a WrestleMania moment – to fight over to have a compelling rivalry. The two friends have battled in NXT and WWE over titles and inflicted injuries on the other.

KO blamed Sami for taking him out of the Intercontinental Championship ladder match at WrestleMania, suplexing him on a ladder and costing him his IC title. Owens returned the favor Monday, taking Zayn out of the #1 contender’s match on Raw. Both men are viciously fighting to settle the score. There’s a palpable hatred between the two. Sure, a title would have added to the feud, but it’s not like they need it at this point.

One has to wonder whether Sami will try to extract revenge this week – if he’s able – after being taken out of a potential world title opportunity. It stands to reason that these two will keep raising the stakes.
