In a triple threat match packed with powerhouse moves and surprise assists, Sami Zayn walked out of WWE King & Queen of the Ring still clutching his Intercontinental Championship. Zayn faced off against Bronson Reed and Chad Gable, showcasing impressive feats of strength and strategy. But it was a moment of accidental chaos that tipped the scales in Zayn’s favor.
The match started with a power struggle that saw Zayn dodging Reed’s strike and hitting a Blue Thunderbomb while Gable had Reed in an ankle lock. Reed, proving his resilience, kicked out and then delivered a jaw-dropping Samoan Drop with both Zayn and Gable on his shoulders, followed by a suicide dive to the outside that had the crowd on their feet. Gable, not to be outdone, managed to chokeslam both opponents simultaneously, demonstrating his own formidable strength.
In a strategic move, Gable directed Otis to neutralize Reed outside the ring. Gable then sent Zayn over the ropes to join the fray. Otis, clearly conflicted, hesitated at the thought of taking out the champion. Gable, growing impatient, got in Otis’s face, pushing and slapping him. In a dramatic twist, Gable held Zayn up for Otis to clothesline, but Zayn ducked at the last second, and Otis accidentally leveled his own coach to everyone’s shock.
Capitalizing on the chaos, Zayn re-entered the ring, squared off with Reed, and delivered a devastating Helluva Kick. With Reed down for the count, Zayn secured the pin and retained his Intercontinental Championship.
