In the main segment of SmackDown, Sami Zayn and Jey Uso had a heated confrontation. Jey said that he never liked or trusted Sami since Day 1. However, the audience and everyone in the Bloodline started to like him.

The Undisputed Tag Team Champion also said that he thought Sami cared about the Bloodline but eventually, he betrayed them. Following that, the former Honorary Uce made Jey Uso look like a fool in front of the whole crowd. Jey also then called Sami a “fake ass Uce.”

Replying back to all the allegations, Sami Zayn said that Jey Uso has chosen to take Roman Reigns’ abuse. The former NXT Champion also said that he thinks Jey is angry with himself because he wasn’t the first one to hit Roman Reigns with a chair. 

After listening to this, Jey Uso attached Sami Zayn but he managed to fight back. Following the brawl, Jimmy also joined his brother in the ring to get the two-on-one advantage. However, Kevin Owens came back to help his former best friend before major damage was done. After getting the better of the Usos, the duo hugged. Hence, watching the two hug, Cody Rhodes looked really contented backstage.

Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:

What Happened at SmackDown between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens earlier?

Starting things off at SmackDown, Cody Rhodes called Kevin Owens into the ring to sort things out with Sami Zayn. The American Nightmare wanted the two former best friends to reunite and join him in the mission of dethroning The Bloodline at WrestleMania 39.

Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble earlier this year and he’s set to face The Tribal Chief at the Showcase of the Immortals. However, the opponents of The Usos were still in a dilemma because Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were not coming on the same ground, especially after what happened at Survivor Series WarGames.

The former Bloodline member has been pleading for weeks to make an alliance with Owens. However, the former Universal Champion has been declining all the offers. After Cody Rhodes managed to get both in the ring together, he appealed to Owens to reunite with his former best friend.
