The internal strife that has been bubbling just beneath the surface between Sami Zayn and Jey Uso boiled over a bit Monday night when the two ran afoul of each other during Solo Sikoa’s match against Angelo Dawkins.

Jey and Sami bristled at each other (Uso more so at Zayn) over providing support to Sikoa, with Jey reminding him that Solo is his brother. These little snipes continued throughout the match, until they were bickering on the apron, distracting the referee, who could have counted a Sikoa pinfall at one point.

Sami and Jey also jawed when trying to help Solo up on the floor, shoving each other and forcing Jimmy Uso to step in and break them up.

It’s getting closer and closer to the two having it out, and you’ve got to wonder if they’ll patch things up a bit, or if we’ll continue to see cracks until someone either steps in to stop it or everything falls apart.
