Sami Zayn's new gimmick of a 'Critic of the Critics' is a breath of fresh air, and he delivered some of the best promos of his WWE career on back-to-back episodes.

This week, WWE's booking wasn't kind to him, as he was interrupted by The Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman. Zayn ran to the backstage area where Strowman tossed him in a dumpster, which was then transferred onto a garbage truck.

But, due to the Wild Card rule, Zayn got an opportunity to get on SmackDown and get a title match for the WWE championship. Although he lost the fight, his performance in the ring restored some of his momentum to where it was before the debacle with the garbage truck.

Yes, it's only a day between both the events but getting mauled by an absolute monster without any fight back hurts his credibility in the long run. Those three Blue Thunder Bombs certainly caught a lot of people's attention, and reminded the audience that he continues to be one of the most gifted performers in the ring.
