Sami Zayn has officially joined the “WWE SmackDown” roster. In a recent appearance, Zayn declared his intention to challenge Solo Sikoa for the United States Championship, highlighting that he has yet to win the US title in his WWE career. Before announcing his move, Zayn thanked Sikoa for interfering in his match against Rusev earlier in the week. Though Zayn had been focusing on the World Championship scene, he shifted his attention to what Solo Sikoa had yet to achieve in WWE. The two clashed in the ring, with the MFTS faction getting involved, only for Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu to come to Zayn’s aid. Their last encounter took place on August 8 in Zayn’s hometown of Montreal, where Zayn secured a non-title win over Sikoa. Prior to that, Zayn’s most recent match on SmackDown was a King of the Ring semi-final against Randy Orton in June.
Fan Take: Sami Zayn’s move to SmackDown and his new target on Solo Sikoa for the US Championship brings fresh excitement to the brand, showcasing Zayn’s hunger for a milestone he hasn’t yet reached. This shift could lead to intense rivalries and elevate the US title scene, giving fans captivating storylines and high-stakes matches.
