Kevin Owens Beats Sami Zayn Again
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn once again faced off during this week’s episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown. Less than a week after his victory over his friend at WWE WrestleMania 37, Owens once again claimed a big win. He defeated Zayn via countout after WWE’s resident conspiracy theorist swiped at Owens’ eye and allowed himself to get counted out. Despite the win, Owens was still enraged at Zayn, so he chased him down. Owens then dragged Zayn to the ring and dropped him with an emphatic Stunner.
