“This is The Kiss of Death For Sami”: Fans Divided After Jey Uso and Sami Zayn’s Secret Backstage Segment on WWE SmackDown

WWE superstar Sami Zayn finally snapped and turned on The Bloodline at the Royal Rumble. The audience is witnessing the consequences of the event since. It was confirmed last week that he will challenge ‘The Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns at the upcoming Elimination Chamber. Ahead of the much-awaited encounter, Zayn interacted with Jey Uso. This not only sent the fans into a frenzy but also meant mixed emotions between the duo.

It took the Canadian a substantial period to gain the trust of the notorious faction. He had to sell his soul to the demon at Survivor Series WarGames to do just that. It was Zayn who launched The Helluva Kick on long-time friend Kevin Owens, which meant the start of his downfall. Now his rodeo with Jey Uso on the recent episode of SmackDown has turned a lot of heads.

Sami Zayn plays mind games with The Bloodline

The former Intercontinental champion came face to face with one-half of the tag team champions. Along with a fist bump, he uttered the words “I Acknowledge You“.

The line has been synonymous with the villainous leader of the group, Reigns. We can see it as part of a ploy by Zayn to disturb the equation between The Bloodline. This has surely added wings to an already impressive storyline. The eventual outcome will certainly be interesting to see.

Fans react to the segment

Fans were quick to notice the magnificent segment between the two. They took to social media in large numbers to let their opinions known on the matter. While some were hopeful of a betrayal of Reigns, many sounded off a warning for their favorite Zayn. Particularly after Reigns’ request for The Tag Team champions to not appear at The Elimination Chamber.

Before the segment, The Usos defended their tag team titles against the duo of Ricochet and Braun Strowman. The twin brothers faced a real possibility of Jimmy Uso competing in the match alone. Jey Uso did appear at the last moment to partner with him in the match. The blue brand kicked off its episode with Zayn and ‘The Wise Man’ Paul Heyman taking shots at each other with the mic.
