El Grande Americano has been on a roll as he has the opportunity to become a World Champion in AAA very soon. However, days before his big title shot, he attacked and lost to a four-time Intercontinental Champion after SmackDown went off the air this week.

Things got crazy on SmackDown as Sami Zayn, the four-time Intercontinental Champion, made his return to his hometown of Montreal, Canada, and received a hero's welcome. In his non-title match against Solo Sikoa, he pinned the US Champion, possibly setting him up for a future title shot.

After SmackDown went off the air, Sami Zayn was attacked by the (second) El Grande Americano. He would go on to defeat the star, who many are accusing of being Ludwig Kaiser in disguise, to send the fans home happy.

It was a special homecoming for Sami Zayn, who now finds himself in the thick of a feud against the dangerous MFT after he pinned Solo Sikoa. That alone should warrant a United States Title shot, although it's unclear what the goal is, as Sami Zayn has made it clear that he wants to be a world champion and that he will be one in the future.

As for El Grande Americano, it's going to be interesting to see how things play out for him. There was a third and even fourth El Grande who showed up on RAW last week, with Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate seemingly taking those roles.

Sami Zayn is technically a RAW Superstar, but now that his feud with Karrion Kross is done, it wouldn't be surprising to see him move over to SmackDown for a bit to hit the refresh button.

Brand flexibility is a lot more right now as WWE doesn't seem to be strictly adhering to the rules of brand exclusivity.
