Kevin Owens approaches Sami Zayn on 1/20 WWE Raw, says he knows Zayn will have his back

Owens understands why Zayn tagged with Reigns.

Coming out to the ring for the 1/20 edition of Monday Night Raw on Netflix was Sami Zayn and he declared for the upcoming men’s Royal Rumble match. Zayn stated that he does not need the World Title because the support he’s received from fans over the years means more to him than that ever could.

He added that he does want the title and said 14-year-old him is still craving it. He was interrupted by Kevin Owens, who was carrying the Winged Eagle Championship. Owens stated that when he reflected on things, he’s not upset at Sami for realigning with Roman Reigns. Owens said both him and Reigns have treated Sami badly in the past and he forgave them for it.

Owens went on to back Zayn to be the winner of the Royal Rumble match. He added that they’ve headlined WrestleMania together, but have never done it in a singles match. Kevin asked Zayn if he’ll have his back like he had Roman’s.

Owens will be competing against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Title in a Ladder match at the Royal Rumble. Both the Undisputed WWE and Winged Eagle Titles will be suspended above the ring. Owens told Zayn that he has his back at the Royal Rumble and knows that if needs Sami, he’ll be there for him as well.
