Sami Zayn‘s old rival might be on his way back for a rematch. While nothing is officially announced yet, WWE posted a video that shows us how angry Johnny Knoxville is at his former opponent. While the latter is not professionally a pro wrestler, the two picked up on a rivalry last year that didn’t dial down until they faced each other off at WrestleMania.
It looks like Knoxville hasn’t had enough since his last encounter with Zayn. The latest official clip from WWE suggests that the actor is trying to come back for some more action in the ring after he blamed Zayn for a personal loss.

Both Knoxville and Zayn engaged in a feud last year and it culminated in a match at WrestleMania which, Knoxville won. Though Knoxville’s win at WrestleMania 38 ended their rivalry, Zayn did not miss his chance to take a dig at him ahead of WrestleMania this year.
Even though it has been more than a year since the duo officially wrestled it out, it looks like the actor is still sore and might be willing to entertain fans with the feud once again given his recent actions on WWE The Bump.
Knoxville recently appeared on WWE The Bump. In a clip that went viral on WWE’s official Twitter page, he is holding a Sami Zayn action figure. To show his anger toward his former opponent, the actor put his action figure in the blender.
In the attempt to destroy the action figure, his blender broke. As WWE shared the clip on Twitter, fans flocked to Twitter to express their feelings about the whole segment.
Fans want Zayn vs Knoxville 2!
The Bump shared a picture of the broken blender while writing, “RIP to [Johnny Knoxville]’s blender… [Sami Zayn], you paying for this?”
If this made you laugh, you’ll be happy to know that you’re joined by WWE fans everywhere.

Could we see Knoxville back in a WWE ring? Since Zayn is a face now, will Knoxville play the bad guy if he returns?

It’s possible that WWE might bring in Knoxville to have a segment with Zayn down the line. That would truly be a treat for fans.
