Sami Zayn was constantly calling out Aleister Black for a match at WWE SummerSlam 2019. While there were plans for them to face off at the biggest party of the summer, fans were surprised when WWE nixed that and advanced the match to this week's episode of SmackDown Live instead.

Aleister Black would go on to win the contest, but when asked about why their match took place on SmackDown Live and not SummerSlam, Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio said:

So the deal with Aleister Black and Sami Zayn was when Vince showed up and didn't like SmackDown. He tore the whole show apart. When he was done with the stuff he didn't like and then changing the main event, they had an hour to fill. And so one of the ideas for that hour was, well, what can we do in this hour? Let's put Aleister Black's match with Sami Zayn on. So, that was one of the things they did to fill the hole.

We hope this isn't true because both men deserved a spot on that card.
