Sami Zayn was overshadowed, once again. The Canadian won the battle royal that closed SmackDown. The authority devised it with the intention of looking for a new challenger for Roman Reigns.
Therefore, the victory was very important and was going to give the option to someone less expected than expected, since the main favorite, Drew McIntyre (who came from winning along with Jeff Hardy to Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss), was eliminated before to start with authority after a confrontation he had with Sheamus in the locker room.
That way, everything was more open and one of the biggest opportunists in WWE won. Sami Zayn took the victory, he was going to have a great moment, but news overshadowed him: Brock Lesnar is going to be on the next SmackDown.
That is, the suspension is lifted after attacking the authority. What will Roman Reings think? The Universal Champion and Paul Heyman spent the entire program challenging interviewer Kayla Braxton for asking them precisely about the ‘Beast’.
As for the other main title of the blue brand, the female, the next rivalry began to heat up. Charlotte Flair came out to call Becky Lynch a cheater after losing to her in Survivor Series. She was interrupted by Toni Storm, who last week had gotten a break.
The ‘Queen’ got angry and after a scuffle ended up stamping two cakes in Storm’s face. As for the rest of the night: Naomi and Sasha Banks defeated Natalya and Shayna Baszler.
