SPOILER: Sami Zayn explains the reason behind his actions at WWE Crown Jewel
Sami Zayn revealed why he showed up following the blockbuster opener of WWE Crown Jewel. Roman Reigns and The Usos lost to The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga in a Six-Man Tag Team Match at the premium live event last night to start the show.
This week's edition of WWE RAW was pre-taped in Saudi Arabia and Sami Zayn explained why he came to the ring after The Bloodline's victory at Crown Jewel. Zayn attempted to hit Solo Sikoa with a Helluva Kick, but accidentally hit Roman Reigns instead after the match.
During tonight's pre-taped episode of RAW, Zayn revealed that he was only coming to the ring to help Jey Uso. However, he also noted that being in the ring with Roman Reigns and The Usos felt like old times, even if it was short-lived.
"I was at Crown Jewel for one person, for Jey [Uso]. You understand? I wanted to make sure that he was okay. But I'm not going to lie, for a minute there, when it was you, and you, and me, and Roman [Reigns], the four of us fighting side by side in this ring, for a minute there, it felt like old times. Felt pretty damn special. For a minute, it felt pretty damn good. But that is how long it lasted, one minute, and then it all falls apart. Just like it does every single time with the four of us," said Zayn. [From 00:01 - 00:46]

Dutch Mantell believes WWE could reignite major Sami Zayn rivalry
Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell believes the company could reignite the feud between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Mantell suggested that another storyline between Owens and Zayn would capture the attention of wrestling fans. He noted that there was still some intrigue left in their past rivalry, and would like to see them battle again on WWE television.
"Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, that's still got life in it. They can go back to that, they didn't wear it out. They cut it, really, a little bit short but they can always go back to that. That's what bookers are always looking forward to when they separate two guys. I've said this a thousand times on this show. Wrestling fans have long memories and they don't forget," Mantell said.
