Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura engaged in what was arguably the best match in the history of NXT, which was coincidentally Nakamura's debut. While one of the two men is the Intercontinental Champion at the moment, the other has been relegated to the position of the hype man, and this does not sit well with many in the WWE Universe.
So what if Kevin Owens is on the verge of winning the match and when he's about to grab the briefcase, you suddenly have Sami Zayn show up out of nowhere to topple the ladder? Not only will that elevate Zayn a rung, but it will also bring back the fantastic rivalry between two former best friends that we've enjoyed for such a long time.

Often, when Owens and Zayn fight against one another, the audience urges them to 'fight forever'. This could certainly be the case if Owens were sent packing, only to make a valiant return close to WrestleMania season, when he and Zayn could take each other to the limit.
But yeah, he could do it as a favor to Shane McMahon to protect his client, Shinsuke Nakamura.
