(2) The Sami Zayn Story… Another “Accidental” Kick to the Face of a “Friend”
Participants:
Kross, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Cody, KO
👉Although today’s storyline mainly focuses on Sami Zayn, it includes our dose of Cody/KO for the day. You can say it also includes McIntyre’s feud with the Bloodline, as he attacked Sami Zayn post match.
Details:
-Sami bumps into Kross backstage. Kross encourages Sami to consider taking Kevin Owens’ side in Owens’ battle against Cody. Cody walks in on this scene but Sami avoids the issue.
-Backstage, Seth and Sami air it out over Sami kicking Seth last week. Sami says it was an accident. Seth accepts but says if it happens again he won’t be sure it was an accident.
-After Drew McIntyre uses nefarious means to defeat Sami Zayn in the main event, Cody runs in to save Sami from a post match Drew McIntyre beatdown. Kevin Owens enters to fight with Cody, which leads to Sami “accidentally” helluva kicking Cody in the face. Owens, who previously asked Sami to be on his side, thanks Sami for his help. Sami says it’s not like that, once again claiming accident.

⭐️Kayhan: Maybe this should have been backstage. A lot of plain talking in front of a crowd. They're lucky the fans were polite enough to just let them do their lines... Also, a little to emotional feely for me, checking if his friend is all right, the "we're friends right?' Whatever. Ill give it some credit for being a scene with two legends. It's a spectacle. But I wasn't a huge fan of the scene.
