Johnny Knoxville Makes A ‘Jackass’ Of Sami Zayn, Eric Bischoff Teaches Adam Pearce About Leadership

Johnny Knoxville Makes A ‘Jackass’ Of Sami Zayn

Johnny Knoxville outsmarted Sami Zayn on Friday night.

In Zayn’s latest attempt to “out-‘Jackass'” the movie star, he used a cattle prod to seemingly electrocute himself on the January 21 episode of WWE SmackDown. But it was fairly apparent that Zayn was faking the whole thing, and Knoxville called him out on it. Much to the delight of his hometown crowd, Knoxville came to the ring and pointed out that Zayn’s cattle prod wasn’t even on. He then did the former WWE Intercontinental Champion a favor by turning it on before he turned the prod on the “Master Strategist.”

To put the exclamation point on the embarrassment, Knoxville dumped Zayn out of the ring to mimic a Royal Rumble elimination in a potential preview of the battle royal the two men will compete in later this month.

Eric Bischoff Teaches Adam Pearce About Leadership

He’s back, and he’s better than ever,

WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff returned to WWE SmackDown on Friday, and he gave WWE official Adam Pearce some advice about leadership. He stood by Pearce’s side while the higher-up told his fellow official, Sonya Deville that her repeated abuse of power against Naomi was out of line. For this reason, Pearce made it clear that he’ll be recommending a match between Deville and Naomi on next week’s show to the powers that be. (The bout was confirmed later in the show.)

This appearance marks Bischoff’s second on-screen segment in two months; he officiated The Miz’s wedding on the December 27 episode of  WWE RAW.
