Sami Zayn drops major spoiler ahead of WWE tour of Japan
Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn seemingly has shared a spoiler ahead of WWE's tour in Japan. The promotion did a double taping of SmackDown this past Friday night as they prepared for the tour.
The Final Testament and The New Day are involved in a personal rivalry on WWE RAW. Karrion Kross brutally attacked Kofi Kingston on the July 1 edition of the red brand and the former champion has not appeared on television since. However, it appears the veteran will be heading to Japan.
Sami Zayn took to his official X/Twitter account today to share a photo of The New Day together on a flight. He humorously added an emoji over Kofi Kingston's face as he did not give Zayn permission to have his photo taken.
"Going to Japan. *Kofi Kingston did not give consent to be photographed," he wrote.
Sami Zayn defeated Bron Breakker at WWE Money in the Bank last month to retain the Intercontinental Championship. However, the 26-year-old defeated Ilja Dragunov last night and will be challenging The Great Liberator for the title once again at WWE SummerSlam next month.
Scott Steiner claims Sami Zayn cheated to win at WWE Money in the Bank
Bron Breakker's uncle, the legendary Scott Steiner, recently claimed that Sami Zayn cheated to retain his Intercontinental Championship at Money in the Bank.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, Steiner suggested that Zayn must have had brass knuckles hidden during the match at the Premium Live Event. The veteran stated the Intercontinental Champion must have done something illegal in the match to defeat Breakker and got lucky.
"Sami, he obviously cheated. You're not gonna beat Bron on his own. He got lucky. What did he have? Brass knuckles or something? What did he hit him with? Brass knuckles or something? He pulled something out. He can't beat him one-on-one. He got lucky." [From 0:41 – 1:00]
