"It's all your fault," Owens said. "Because Sami, you stood there and watched while Cody tried to end my career. Worse, you know, I think he was actually trying to end ... And you stood there and did nothing. And later on, I watched the Royal Rumble match and what do I see, but you rushing to the aid of Roman Reigns because someone's beating him up in the corner."
Reports suggest that the beatdown that Zayn received at the hands of Kevin Owens will now take him out of action indefinitely as he has suffered multiple injuries. Despite it being confirmed that the injuries are real or kayfabe, the fans are still hopeful to see a huge Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn match at WrestleMania 41.
