Sami Zayn could not walk out on his own after this week's episode of Monday Night Raw from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
The post-Royal Rumble show began the build for the upcoming Elimination Chamber PPV with qualifying bouts. Zayn was involved in one of the two such bouts of the night, facing CM Punk in the main event of the show.
The Underdog from the Underground fought hard and did his best to defeat the former world champion. Unfortunately for Sami Zayn, it was CM Punk who came out victorious in the end, winning the bout with a GTS. The Straight Edge Star showed respect for his opponent after the bell by shaking hands.
What Happened After Raw
As the two stars were leaving the ring, however, a banged-up Kevin Owens appeared out of nowhere. Owens attacked his best friend from behind, inadvertently taking out Punk in the process as well. KO then continued his attack on Sami, delivering a brutal Package Piledriver to end the show.
While Owens left after the show went off air, Sami and Punk remained in ring. The medics came out to check on Zayn after the brutal attack. The former IC Champion could not walk out on his own in the end, and he had to be taken out on a stretcher as a concerned Punk looked on.
CM Punk and Kevin Owens had a heated promo battle on the January 31 SmackDown heading into Royal Rumble. Now this second interaction between the two suggests that the company might be planning a feud between the two in future.
