Sami Zayn has secured his position as the number one contender for Drew McIntyre’s Undisputed WWE Championship and will challenge McIntyre at the upcoming Royal Rumble. Zayn earned this opportunity by emerging victorious in a four-way match on Saturday Night’s main event against Randy Orton, Damian Priest, and Trick Williams.
The bout kicked off with Williams confidently entering and vowing to claim victory on his own terms. Orton nearly stunned Priest with a surprise RKO before focusing on Zayn. Williams dragged Zayn outside the ring and battered him, with Orton landing an uppercut on Zayn shortly after. Inside the ring, Zayn and Orton exchanged strikes, but Williams quickly returned to the match. Priest countered by slamming Williams face-first into the mat, then turned his attention to Zayn, who responded with a tornado DDT. Zayn followed up by blasting Orton with a Blue Thunder Bomb and attempted a Helluva Kick, which Williams blocked with a big boot.
Zayn secured the win by delivering a Helluva Kick to both Priest and Williams, but Williams interrupted by pulling the referee out of the ring. Orton then slammed all his rivals against the commentary desk, and the fight raged on until only Orton and Zayn remained in the ring. Zayn dodged one RKO, only to face another but countered with a Helluva Kick attempt.
Orton executed a double drape DDT on both Priest and Williams, sparking back-and-forth action. Williams tried for a pin, but Zayn took him down with an Exploder suplex and aimed for another Helluva Kick, which Williams evaded. Priest struck both Williams and Zayn with the Razor’s Edge on the ropes, but while Priest was distracted by Williams, Zayn landed the decisive Helluva Kick to claim victory.
