2 Best Friends Walked Away From Each Other On WWE SmackDown After Tense Confrontation

Best friends broke apart on WWE SmackDown, as two all-time friends and rivals left their situation tense on the blue brand. It’s uncertain what’s next between the two stars, as things currently are very heated and tense.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn had a major confrontation on WWE SmackDown

Kevin Owens arrived on the scene on WWE SmackDown just as Sami Zayn was confronting Nick Aldis backstage. Zayn was naturally unhappy with the addition of Kevin Owens and Gunther to what was supposed to be his singles match against Finn Balor. But with Owens’ arrival, things were thrown out of whack, and it was the returning star who got the win and the opportunity to face CM Punk.

The backstage face-off between the two was tense. Despite them being best friends, Zayn felt wronged and demanded that Owens apologize to him for what happened and acknowledge that it ruined things for him. While the No.1 Contender did exactly that, the fact that he then didn’t go on to say that he wanted Zayn’s help to face CM Punk didn’t sit right with the star, and he left offended.

Owens was left frustrated, walking off alone and muttering that he had only been back for six days.

Owens and Zayn also subtly acknowledged that the star had been waiting to face Punk forever, referring to the real-life heat between the two stars.

Zayn is unlikely to be happy to let the title picture not involve him after Kevin Owens’ return. Now, though, the star’s best friend is in the way of him getting another title shot, so it’s likely that he will inadvertently, or on purpose, cost Owens the chance to win the title when he gets his title shot in two weeks’ time. Fans will have to wait and see what happens.
