The tension between Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre has officially boiled over, culminating in a highly anticipated grudge match added to Saturday Night’s Main Event. The already stacked card just got even more explosive.
After clearing the air with Seth “Freakin” Rollins on Monday’s “Raw,” Zayn was left with a new foe in McIntyre. Rollins, ever the instigator, suggested Zayn deal with his issues with McIntyre—issues that include a surprise beatdown from the Scottish Warrior last week. Zayn wasted no time, calling out McIntyre for a fight this weekend.
But McIntyre wasn’t about to wait until Saturday. As Zayn walked up the ramp after issuing his challenge, McIntyre blindsided him with another brutal attack, leaving chaos in his wake. WWE’s X (formerly Twitter) account later posted backstage footage of McIntyre and Zayn continuing their brawl in gorilla position, requiring intervention from officials and Adam Pearce, who probably deserves hazard pay at this point.
The bad blood between these two guarantees this match will be a barnburner. Can Zayn settle the score, or will McIntyre’s rampage continue? One thing’s for sure—Saturday Night’s Main Event just got unmissable.
