This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown featured a huge main event as Sami Zayn challenged Solo Sikoa for the WWE United States Championship. Ultimately it was Sami Zayn who picked up the victory to win the WWE United States Championship for the first time in his career.
Following his big win on SmackDown, Kevin Owens took to social media to praise Sami Zayn when he posted the following:
“One of the best indeed…
Top 1, in my opinion.
I still hate him though.
Or maybe not. I don’t know, it’s hard to remember. Depends on the day, I guess. We’ll see what happens.
One thing I do know for sure is that he’s the best.”
