5 times Superstars allegedly refused to follow the script
On WWE's most recent European tour, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens were reportedly sent home for not following the script during their segment on SmackDown. Zayn had just lost a match to Kofi Kingston, and both he and Owens were supposed to get back in the ring and take a beating from the New Day.
Neither Owens or Zayn did get back in the ring, however, and the segments ended up coming off as a little awkward. Whether Owens and Zayn forgot what they were supposed to do or purposely went off script is not currently known.
With the story currently developing, we thought it appropriate to look at five times wrestlers refused to follow the script and what the consequences ended up being for them.

Shortly after the battle royal started, Kim eliminated herself and quit WWE. She would go on to finish her career with Impact Wrestling.
