Kayla Braxton played a hilarious prank on Sami Zayn, that even the Intercontinental Champion had to applaud. On an episode of Talking Smack, the host showed up wearing a gruff orange beard and absolutely nailed the whole look. She topped it off with Zayn’s signature hat and the oversized shirt as well. All Sami said when he saw her was, “You look terrible.”

Kayla went on to mock Zayn’s Canadian accent to the sheer shock of the Intercontinental Champion. She apologised for her lateness by citing that she had to make a cup of coffee and climb mount Kilimanjaro. Sami smiled and agreed, “I do make a pretty good coffee.”
“How dare you kind of accurately make fun of me like this,” was all Zayn could come up with in response to this hilarious impression by Kayla Braxton. The host of Talking Smack has more than filled in the gap that Renee Young had left. The wife of AEW Champion Jon Moxley left the company after she tested positive for COVID-19.
Sami has been consistently entertaining on SmackDown

Sami Zayn made an appearance on the show to talk about his Intercontinental Championship reign and his upcoming match at Survivor Series against Bobby Lashley. The appearance by Kayla was a welcome addition to the show, which was already lit up by Sami’s appearance.
Sami Zayn has become one of the most entertaining characters in the WWE. The former Underdog from the Underground shed his NXT personality and embraced his dark side. This dark side is often accompanied with insanely funny segments and sharp promos. His transition has been super smooth, and could be compared to his real life best friend Kevin Owens.

“You’re a fraudulent champion, I’m the better Champion,” chimed Kayla. Sami was chided at Kayla’s impression of him, even though it was quite accurate. He questioned her professionalism and claimed to carry the show due to her tom-foolery.
Sami Zayn has been a highlight on SmackDown and his run as Intercontinental Champion has been promising. He faces a tough test in Bobby Lashley at Survivor Series in a Champion vs Champion match. In the meantime, Kayla Braxton has been killing it as the host of the new and improved Talking Smack.
