That's so great. Brilliant subtlety. I wonder, do we assume they'll have an unsanctioned tag match at WrestleMania, similar to Triple H vs. HBK at Summerslam 2002? Seems to not only fit in with the story now that Sami and Kevin are, "fired," but it also gives the Mania card some variety since there aren't any gimmick matches on the show. How good is that? The inevitable 24 Special regarding this is going to be absolutely incredible. I've watched the closing angle about five times now. It's phenomenal. One of the best things in years and years. Sami and Kevin are such hateable pricks. This feud is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have "Kevin Steen" and "El Generico" do a couple of indy shows this week. Trouble is, they couldn't really mention it or promote it as that would defeat the point. But word would spread. Daniel Bryan could mention it on Twitter even if WWE don't. The other trouble is, is they won't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 22, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2018 I was going to suggest they could pop up at the next Evolve show...however the next one is April 5th. Too late, as it will be after the go-home show before WrestleMania. Can't see them flying over for the next Progress show this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boytoy Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 It has probably been said but Sami Zayn was amazing in that segment. We all know Owens is a massive prick and his actions are totally in character but Zayn really looked like a guy who didn't want to be beating his friend up and was just doing what he had to which made his action seem ten times worse. He is great at conveying emotions without it being really cheesy and I thought it was just as good as the 'will he/won't he' chair shot vs Neville in the Sami can't win the big one feud.

Paid Members mim731 Posted March 22, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2018 It' a shame WWE don't have a better relationship with NJPW, as those two showing up as Steen and Generico over the weekend in Long Beach would be superb. Large enough platform to make it big news as a one-off (ideally it would be an ROH show as neither worked for NJPW prior to WWE), and would be a logical move if they were legitimately fired, as opposed to the storyline dismissals. Would never happen, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted March 22, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2018 In terms of getting headlines, it doesn't need to be somewhere as big as NJPW for that to work - Owens and Zayn showing up anywhere would get the requisite press, so they could easily use a promotion they're on better terms with like EVOLVE to fit that bill, or even just a tiny indie promotion that's run by someone in WWE's good books, or something like Booker T's company.

Agree Evolve would be the best option for such an angle, but no Evolve shows til nearer Mania, and you imagine most indies in their good books have their next big show Mania weekend? (Obviously it's moot because WWE aren't going to do it, but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the one thing that did annoy me though was Owens' screaming generic noise. Either cold-blooded silence or some actual words screamed would've been better than his distressed Nia Jax impression.

Snitsky's back acne Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Zayn has been a revelation as a heel in my opinion. He was so good as a babyface I honestly didn't think it would work but now I think he was born to be a heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did scream “you did this” Just before or after I think but yea I don’t mind it, he’s frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King of Old School Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'm wondering if AJ's injury is a lot worse than expected, does anyone think WWE would go the whole hog with the Owens/Zayn storyline and keep them off Mania and maybe have them return to Raw in the superstar shakeup? That could free up Bryan to face Nakamura for the vacant title at Mania? Would leave the whole Shane/Sami/Owens story unfinished and wouldnt really fit in with Bryans underdog character, but just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 24, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 24, 2018 Nah, AJ will be ok. He said during an interview a couple of days ago that he'd find a way to wrestle even with a broken leg or something, so I'm sure he'll be fine for Mania.
