Sami Zayn match will kick off tonight's WWE SmackDown
Sami Zayn is set to battle Sheamus to kick off this week's edition of WWE SmackDown.
The Bloodline battled The Brawling Brutes, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens in the main event of WWE Survivor Series WarGames. At the end of the WarGames match, Sami hit Kevin Owens with a low blow.
Zayn followed it up with the Helluva Kick and then stepped aside to allow Jey Uso to shine. Jey hit KO with the Frog Splash for the pinfall victory. After the match, The Honorary Uce shared a hug with Roman Reigns and Jey Uso in the ring and The Bloodline appears to be as strong as ever.
Sheamus and The Brawling Brutes came up short against The Bloodline but The Celtic Warrior has a chance at revenge tonight. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Zayn and Sheamus will kick off this week's edition of WWE SmackDown:
"Tonight's WWE Smackdown on FS1 will kick off with Sami Zayn vs. Sheamus," tweeted Sapp.

"I haven't been able to sit down and really take the time to really watch it all, but Sami Zayn has always been a great performer. I had the chance to work with him one time... and I enjoyed every minute of it. Sami Zayn is like a hidden talent.
