5 things WWE SmackDown got right this week: Sami Zayn destroyed again, Xia Li debuts

#4. Sami Zayn remained the top performer on WWE SmackDown

Last week’s WWE SmackDown shined a lot of spotlight on Sami Zayn. He opened up the show and had a top segment with Brock Lesnar. Later, Zayn was beaten down by Lesnar before Roman Reigns finished him off.

Zayn came out as the star of a show where both Lesnar and Reigns showed up for big segments. This week on SmackDown, WWE allowed Zayn to do something similar.

He opened up the show again and had a great war of words with Lesnar and Paul Heyman. It ended with him taking another beating from the Universal Champion.

The Conspiracy Theorist has proven his worth on SmackDown time and time again. He is an underrated performer who has only won the Intercontinental Championship twice on the main roster.

However, he continued to play his role on SmackDown extremely well and was at the top of his game. At no point did it look like Zayn was unhappy with his position on the roster.

The segment once again proved that Zayn is capable of holding his own on the main roster and can become a top star someday. It’s incredible to see someone like Zayn become the bridge in the rivalry between Lesnar and Reigns.
