The ‘Honorary Uce’ in The Bloodline, Sami Zayn recently defeated former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston after the latter encountered a potential career-ending botch.
Sami Zayn saves Kofi Kingston
Zayn was recently recognized as the ‘Honorary Uce’ by the reigning WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns. The former Intercontinental Champion has been at the forefront of the stable’s activities. However, he is not on the best of terms with Jey Uso, who doubts his loyalty. This week on SmackDown, Zayn was set to face Kofi Kingston and was accompanied to the ring by Jey.
The New Day had kicked off the latest edition of Friday Night SmackDown. Kofi Kingston reminded the fans of their record-breaking tag team title reign. Xavier Woods then claimed that this record is their legacy. Sami Zayn was then shown backstage praising Solo Sikoa’s reliability. He then again started arguing with Jey Uso for not helping him win on RAW.
Then he went out for the match. The bout was back and forth and Zayn dominated the early part of the match. However, there was a moment in that could’ve been cost Kingston’s career.
The former WWE Champion climbed to the top turnbuckle and went for what looked like a hurricanrana but missed Zayn. Luckily, the former Intercontinental Champion managed to catch Kingston, which softened his fall to the mat, thereby preventing him from potentially falling on his neck. Kingston continued the match like nothing had happened and was his usual high-flying self. However, The Honorary Uce emerged victorious with some help from Jey Uso. Jey helped Zayn to reverse a rollup from Kingston and pick up the win.
