The One Thing EVERYONE Is Getting Wrong About Sami Zayn
On the February 24th edition of SmackDown Sami Zayn highlighted to Jimmy Uso the specifics of what he'd realised the longer he'd spent under Roman Reigns’ thumb, which happened to be right around the time he was about to face the pain of Solo Sikoa's at his trial.
On Raw a few days later, both Uso and Sikoa opened the show with a defensive and defiant speech about the supposed health of The Bloodline before later falling afoul of a Kevin Owens attack. It matched every assault strategy from Sami since he left the group; ‘KO’ came from the crowd in a black hoodie, got his shots in and got out before the numbers game overwhelmed him. The Montreal natives are simpatico once again, but Owens’ refusal to acknowledge that right now is coinciding with Zayn doing just that to keep The Usos at the opposite end of the emotional scale.
After nearly three painful years under the control of feared cousin Roman, Jey finally got the praise he longed for from Sami. The two went from biggest enemies to best friends, all simultaneously while Jimmy went in the opposite direction.
The internal strife on both sides is just delicious. The twin brothers - Champion siblings defending a record-setting run - have been pulled apart while denying the rift. Meanwhile, the feuding former friends haven’t been as on the same page for years even if they refuse to admit it. It is a truly remarkable turn of events in a series of them and can only result in an explosive, immersive and thrilling climax on WWE’s ‘Grandest Stage’.
And best of all, it’s not by mistake, or luck and chance.
