Roman Reigns: Vs sami zayn| Did win last night| Vs brock lesnar| Title Run
Vs Sami Zayn:
He was forced to compete in the WWE SmackDown main event match last week when he was not fit to compete. Brock Lesnar had his way with him and then Roman Reigns finished him off. The setup is perfect for Sami Zayn to turn face and finally take the fight to Roman Reigns.
Yes, we know Zayn as a heel because he plays one so well. But there is something likable about this WWE SmackDown Superstar for sure.
Did win last night:
This past Friday, it was announced Brock Lesnar would be making his return to SmackDown the following week.
That announcement was more than a little rain on the parade of Sami Zayn just moments after he became the No. 1 contender to the universal championship by winning a battle royal. At SmackDown this week, Lesnar’s return proved to be more of a thunderstorm for Zayn.
Vs Brock Lesnar:
Lesnar strong-armed Zayn into cashing in his chance at Roman Reigns’ title during SmackDown, rather than waiting for the Day 1 pay-per-view on Jan. 1. Lesnar was also locked in as the challenger for the winner of Reigns vs. Zayn at Day 1.
Already facing steep odds, Zayn was then brutalized by Lesnar before the match started, Lesnar would get his chance to avenge his loss to Reigns at Crown Jewel in October.
Title Run:
Brock Lesnar opened the show to address his return from suspension when he was interrupted by Sami Zayn. Zayn tried to flatter Lesnar, but Lesnar asked why he shouldn’t rip Zayn’s head off for the interruption.
Zayn pointed out that he’s the No. 1 contender for the universal championship and would be wrestling Roman Reigns for the title at Day 1. Lesnar told Zayn he was getting played and should not wait for his title shot and should instead fight Reigns later in the night and win the title.
