On if Sami Zayn will face any consequences from his actions last week:
Last Tuesday, Sami Zayn was barred from ringside by Shane McMahonfor the main event battle between his best friend Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. Zayn, in direct defiance of the SmackDown LIVE Commissioner, waited until the match left ringside to interfere, clobbering The Viper with a steel chair and helping KO win.
With the intense scrutiny he and Owens have faced over the last few months, one would think that this deed will not go unpunished, though Zayn could make the argument that he technically didn’t break any of Shane’s rules since his interference did not occur at ringside. What consequences await Zayn this week on SmackDown LIVE?
On Baron Corbin taking on Bobby Roode:
Over the weekend, a blockbuster United States Championship Triple Threat Match was announced for WWE Clash of Champions, featuring Baron Corbin defending his title against Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler. The Lone Wolf will get a chance to scout one of his opponents ahead of the WWE Network special this week when he takes on Roode in one-on-one action.
Will The Glorious One give The Lone Wolf a preview of what lies ahead in their title match, or will Corbin make Roode face his End of Days?
