As per the earlier reports, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were suffering a backstage heat on Smackdown Live. They dragged themselves to the doghouse of the company with some unwanted incidents and as a result, were kicked out of the United Kingdom tour in the second week of November. Ever since then, we are getting conflict reports on the situation.
The rumours about the backstage heat started in a segment from Smackdown Live which was hosted from Manchester. They had a segment with The New Day where a verbal confrontation broke out between the two teams. The babyface team won the war after which the heels were scheduled to get a beatdown.
But, instead, they chose to stay away from the ring going out of the script. The officials have not taken it, easily and rebuked them for their deeds. They were not seen in the remaining part of the WWE UK tour leading to the rumours that WWE might have decided to keep them away from the live events.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter gave some update on the situation stating there were some miscommunications among them that resulted in the awkward situation on WWE TV. Apparently, Owens and Zayn were not fully aware of what they were supposed to do and ended up doing the unwanted gestures. So, it can’t be intentional from their side and no fallouts were observed after that.
The contrary reports have suggested that several backstage officials yelled at them for their actions on Smackdown before they were finally sent back home. Check out further updates from the source (courtesy stillrealtous.com)
“It’s also being reported that there are people who have “vehemently denied” that the story about the miscommunication is true, and claim that the general reaction among talent is that they went into business for themselves and they were viewed as the bad guys in the situation after being sent home.”
However, there are certain truths to the fact that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were not on the good books after they had an altercation with Randy Orton on Twitter. The Viper noted that the prizefighter was not present in Smackdown locker room. Instead, he was busy attending a wedding ceremony.
Even if there were any miscommunications then it is supposedly over considering they performed on Smackdown Live as a tag team in the bygone week. Hopefully, the remaining heat gets over, too, soon.
