The moment Sami Zayn ambushed Damian Priest was one of the most unexpected moments at the Crown Jewel. However, Zayn had done some foreshadowing and fans had totally missed it.
It was Sami Zayn all along
On the 10/30 episode of Raw, Judgment Day took the center of the ring to address the crowd in attendance. The stable’s cornerstone, Rhea Ripley sends out a reminder that the heel faction runs the Raw and will prove their dominance at the Crown Jewel. The promo was cut by Sami Zayn. Zayn sat on a ring post to have a word with them. He said that he has been around people just like The Eradicator who are hungry for power. And he has successfully rebelled against them.

Zayn said he is not afraid to do the same against Judgment Day. He will do everything possible in his power to stop the faction from total domination. Little did the fans know that it would mean stealing the briefcase from Damian Priest and taking off. Fans were having their doubts as to why Zayn was given a kick-off show. The 39-year-old star was a main-eventer for the Night of the Champions and this was a sudden downgrade for him. But now it feels like WWE might have taken that decision so that Priest might not get a chance to confront Zayn later on in the night.
