Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we might be in for another wild ride with WWE’s favorite prankster, Johnny Knoxville! The “Jackass” star hinted at a possible reunion (or a renewed feud) with Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn just in time for WWE Money in the Bank in Toronto this weekend. And trust me, this tease has everyone buzzing.
The Instagram Tease
Johnny Knoxville, never one to miss an opportunity for mischief, posted a selfie on his Instagram story on Tuesday. The backdrop? A screen at the Los Angeles airport showing a delayed flight heading straight to Toronto. Coincidence? I think not.
Sami Zayn’s Reaction
Sami Zayn, whose paranoia seems to be on high alert, quickly caught wind of Knoxville’s post. Sharing a screenshot on his X account, Zayn simply wrote, “WTF IS THIS,” capturing the sentiment of every WWE fan out there. Zayn, set to defend his Intercontinental Championship against Bron Breakker at Money in the Bank, might just have more to worry about than his title defense.
The Comedy Show Connection
Adding fuel to the fire, Zayn also quoted a previous post about his comedy show, “WWE Presents: Sami Zayn & Friends Do Toronto Comedy Show,” set for Thursday at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. In the initial post, Zayn mentioned finalizing the show’s lineup, subtly hinting that Knoxville might be making a special appearance. Is this all part of Zayn’s elaborate comedic setup, or is Knoxville plotting something bigger for Money in the Bank?
A Storied Feud
For those who might need a refresher, Zayn and Knoxville’s feud leading up to WrestleMania 38 was nothing short of spectacular. Their Anything Goes match was a blend of storyline shenanigans and real-life hilarity. From Helluva Kicks to a giant hand slapping Zayn and appearances by Knoxville’s “Jackass” crew, the match had it all. Knoxville’s WrestleMania moment came when he trapped Zayn in a giant mousetrap for the win.
