Except this time, there might not be a happy reunion.<\/p>\n<p>When Owens used the package piledriver on Sami, a move that had been banned in WWE for several years, it wasn\u2019t an accident. He was clearly trying to end his friend\u2019s career, something Zayn picked up on immediately. Zayn demanded a match with Owens, which Raw General Manager Adam Pearce obliged with an unsanctioned match. With this match coming up in a few days, the WWE YouTube channel uploaded a video chronicling their history over the past few years and what led to the creation of the match.<\/p>\n<p>This was an excellent video to prime viewers for a match between two wrestlers whose careers have intertwined several times over the years. Usually, whenever they betray each other, everyone knows that they\u2019ll get back together. However, given the events that have transpired since the Royal Rumble, this friendship might be definitively over.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;Acknowledging WWE&#8221; with Javier Machado, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/acknowledging-wwe-machado-duncan-discuss-wwe-going-full-mortal-kombat-speculation-on-pitch-meetings-for-craziest-concepts-more--64619129\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cpwtorch\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=64619129&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The first half of the video was definitely my favorite part, as it clearly shows why Owens is so mad. Sami betrays Roman Reigns to defend Owens, but crawls back to him nearly two years later. It\u2019s obvious that Sami is willing to put aside the months of abuse by the Bloodline, something Owens isn\u2019t happy about.<\/p>\n<p>Karrion Kross\u2019s inclusion in this is interesting yet makes sense. He\u2019s trying to get through to Sami to think about his actions and what has transpired around him. It seems like his part of this story is just beginning, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see how that plays out in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this video not only highlights the rise and fall of the current Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens friendship, but also capturs Karrion Kross\u2019 part in the story as well. It&#8217;s understandably frustrating to see Sami\u2019s actions over the years in regard to Reigns and the Bloodline and Owens. They treat him horribly, he leaves them, then he comes back to them seemingly forgetting what happened months prior. Then the cycle repeats without him ever looking at his decisions. That\u2019s what Owens and Kross are trying to drill into his head.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2141461881\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>However, what Owens did went too far so the match on Saturday feels necessary. You don\u2019t just try to end someone you call a friend\u2019s career just to prove a point. There are way better ways to get that message across. Sami\u00a0 and Owens are facing o\ufb00 in an unsanctioned match in just a few days, and based o\ufb00 the last couple of weeks, it\u2019s something that needed to happen.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens \u2013 Road to Elimination Chamber 2025: WWE Playlist\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4GuorYaIjgo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-922001826\"><div id=\"pwtor-3655990637\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>When Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens face o\ufb00 tomorrow night at Elimination Chamber: Toronto, it\u2019s going to be a battle between two friends who have had a nearly two decades of history with one another. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2025\/02\/28\/wwe-youtube-video-reivew-does-this-compilation-paint-a-sympathetic-view-of-owens-reaction-to-samis-decisions-with-the-bloodline\/\" title=\"WWE YOUTUBE VIDEO REVIEW: Does this compilation paint a sympathetic view of Owens&#8217; reaction to Sami&#8217;s decisions with the Bloodline?\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":193846,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,30,24,3,6937],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-193845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prowrestlingnews","category-specialfeatures","category-mediareviews","category-news_wwe","category-youtube"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-28-at-2.04.19\u202fPM.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193845"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193845\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":193853,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193845\/revisions\/193853"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
