Ups...

Local boys Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens were treated like conquering heroes when they showed up on Raw, but the crowd really went nuts when they started speaking French. (Ironically enough, the other heel in the ring, Jinder Mahal, is a fellow Canadian.)

Later on, American Seth Rollins and Irish-born Finn Balor gave it a go with some basic French. The crowd ate up all of it, chanting “Oui!” to signal their approval throughout it all.

As an American, this writer has to give a nod of appreciation for the international flair every once in a while, as it just adds a little something to the show.
