According to F4WOnline and Sportskeeda, Sami Zayn halted a WWE Championship number one contender match on Friday’s episode of “WWE SmackDown,” leaving the division without a clear challenger for CM Punk. Zayn interfered in a triple threat match featuring Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, and Gunther, ultimately attacking all four competitors and standing tall with the title to close the show.
Sami Zayn Disrupts Friday’s Main Event
The main event featured a triple threat match between Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, and Gunther to determine a challenger for CM Punk’s championship, according to F4WOnline. The bout descended into chaos during the closing stretch when Finn Balor connected with a Coup de Grace on Gunther, according to the primary source. Before the referee could count the pinfall, Sami Zayn pulled Balor from the ring and laid out the official.
According to Sportskeeda, Zayn was upset that he never received a proper title rematch following previous interference angles. After taking out the initial referee, Zayn dropped a second official rushing down the ramp. CM Punk then entered the ring to confront Zayn, triggering a brawl with Kevin Owens before Zayn utilized the championship belt to clear the ring.
Escalating Feud Following Last Week’s Interference
The confrontation stems from friction on the previous week’s “WWE SmackDown,” where Zayn inserted himself into a title match between CM Punk and Kevin Owens, as reported by F4WOnline. While Zayn initially attempted to help Owens win, Owens refused to use the championship as a weapon. Zayn then struck Owens with the belt, allowing Punk to retain the title, before subsequently attacking both Punk and Owens.
Opening this week’s broadcast, Kevin Owens stated he would handle Zayn on his own terms but demanded another shot at the title, leading management to book the triple threat match, according to F4WOnline. Instead of resolving the contendership issue, Zayn’s latest intervention left Owens, Balor, Gunther, and Punk laid out in the center of the ring.
Upcoming Title Match Scheduled
According to Sportskeeda, the aftermath of Friday’s chaos leads directly to a scheduled championship bout. CM Punk has called out Sami Zayn for a WWE Undisputed Title match set for the September 11th episode of “WWE SmackDown,” which is reported to be a pre-taped broadcast.
