Sami Zayn is explaining himself.
Kevin Owens was able to defeat Jey Uso on the August 29 edition of WWE Raw after Sami Zayn failed to strike Owens with a chair when the time was right. Fans around the world of wrestling chalked up Zayn's actions to a nod of his long-standing friendship and respect for Owens, but the 'Honorary Uce' is shutting down those rumors now.
In a new tweet that Zayn put out today, he explained his actions, or lack there of.
To clarify, I didn’t hit Kevin Owens because I felt the ref could see me in his periphery and I didn’t want to cause Jey Uso to lose by DQ.
