Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn Make a Challenge
Raw opened with a reunited Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens making their way to the ring. They joked about the crowd liking both of them after getting a very warm welcome at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis.
After talking about how far they have come, both men looked up at the WrestleMania sign. That is when The Usos came out to try to rain on their parade.
It didn’t take long for KO to issue a challenge for the tag titles at The Show of Shows. The Usos accepted before rushing the ring to begin a brawl. Jimmy barely saved Jey from taking a Helluva Kick. They grabbed some steel chairs, but a number of officials came out to break up the fight.
Backstage, Solo Sikoa was shown arriving with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. The Usos went to the back to end the segment.
This played out exactly as everyone expected it to, but it was still fun. Both teams played their roles well. This is going to be a great match at WrestleMania.
