8. A ‘Shocking’ Talk Segment

Uggh, please tell us that this isn’t a recurring segment.

Sami Zayn joined Corey Graves on a new talk segment Monday night, The Electric Chair. And yes, they had an actual electric chair mock-up for Zayn to sit in. Supposedly, no question was off-limits.

The catch? The questions came from the fans, which meant we got stupid question after stupid question as the segment died a slow death. Zayn simply cut into the fans as they asked stupid storyline-related questions, reminding them that they could ask him anything, and yet this segment was a snoozer.

The one notable spot came when Sami said that fans could have asked him about AEW, which got a huge reaction from the crowd… and then they immediately transitioned to a discussion about the Universal Championship, which then led to Seth Rollins storming the ring for an impromptu match.

Piper’s Pit, this decidedly was not.
