Sami Zayn Explains Why He Didn't Hit Kevin Owens On WWE Raw

Sami Zayn has explained why he neglected to hit Kevin Owens with a chair during KO's match with Jey Uso on this past Monday's episode of Raw.

Zayn has been looking to further curry favour with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline and this may have been a misstep. Taking to Twitter, The Great Liberator wrote the following:

"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. I've explained this to The Bloodline and the issue has been resolved. Friday's championship celebration will proceed as planned. Thank you".

Owens managed to beat Uso, with Zayn seemingly failing to capitalise on the right moment to strike. It remains to be seen what The Bloodline will think f Zayn's inaction, with the group set to hold a championship celebration on the September 2 edition of WWE SmackDown.
