• “There’s a way out of this” – Sami Zayn To Jey Uso On Tonight’s SmackDown
Below are the results from tonight’s SmackDown so far:
– Tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown kicked off with Paul Heyman coming out with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and talking about Roman Reigns’ two upcoming matches.
Heyman told the fans that Sami Zayn isn’t here tonight and Dusty Rhodes raised an idiot for a son in Cody Rhodes.
Paul said the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship is the crowning jewel of The Bloodline and The Bloodline doesn’t exist without it.
Sami suddenly showed up behind Heyman and began staring at the WrestleMania 39 sign.
Zayn told Heyman to relax, as he wouldn’t hurt him. He said if this was one month ago, Solo Sikoa would’ve already laid him out with a Samoan Spike. If this was a month ago, Jimmy Uso would’ve taken him out by now with a series of superkicks.
If this was a month ago, even Jey Uso would’ve beat him up. But this isn’t a month ago, and Sami wonders why no one is here with Heyman.
Sami said The Bloodline is slowly crumbling and Roman’s days as champion are numbered.

Zayn then ended his promo by saying the following:
“Tell Roman he doesn’t have to worry about Cody because I’m going to be the one to take him down!”
