The opening of Friday Night SmackDown quickly answered the question if Sami Zayn would listen to the orders of Roman Reigns.
On the January 23 Raw 30th Anniversary special, the Tribal Court of Sami Zayn segment ended with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion finding the defendant “no guilty…for now”.
Reigns gave Zayn orders to not show up on this week’s SmackDown and that he didn’t want to see him until this Saturday’s Royal Rumble 2023 event.
However, the opening moments of the January 27 edition of SmackDown saw The Usos and Solo Sikoa arrive at the building for the show. After Jimmy Uso and Sikoa entered the arena, Jey Uso was approached by Sami Zayn who had a hoodie on to not be recognized.
Sami thanked Jey for defending him during the Tribal Court and let him know that if he ever needed anything to just tell him. Uso pleaded with “The Honorary Uce” to remember what Roman had to say and to leave, which Sami did after thanking him again.
It remains to be seen if Roman Reigns saw Sami’s apparent disobedience or if Sami Zayn will remain outside the building for the entire broadcast.
The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa will face Kevin Owens on tonight’s show ahead of KO challenging Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at tomorrow’s Royal Rumble 2023 show. For the full lineup for the event, click here.
