Logan Paul made a giant splash at this year’s WrestleMania. Though the internet celebrity lost his non-title match against Seth Rollins, he made quite a name for himself at the SoFi Stadium. And not just Paul, another member of his crew, no, not KSI, a different one, had a night to remember for a slightly awkward reason involving Sami Zayn.

Logan Paul’s co-host predicted the future to Sami Zayn

Both Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn are current superstars in the WWE, who enjoys a massive following. Apart from that, both the superstars wear their hair long and sport a beard. However, they look very different from one another. Not to Logan Paul’s co-host, though.

When the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champion asked him, “Yo what’s up”, he said something that was a few hours away from happening at that point.

“I look up for a second, barely look up and in my brain I say, there’s Seth Rollins. I look up for one second and I say, great match man and look back down and keep walking,” the Impaulsive co-host said.

Zayn was left confused as he hadn’t engaged in his tag team match against The Usos till then. However, Zayn and his partner, fellow Canadian Kevin Owens, did have a great match as they managed to strip Rikishi’s sons of their titles.

Meanwhile, Paul was left impressed with his co-host’s admission. “It’s super on-brand for Sami. He’s kind of like neurotically awkward. Like I like that you said that to him,” he said.

Maljek stated the former WWE Intercontinental Champion probably saw the funny side of it. Nevertheless, Zayn suffered the consequences of his triumph at WrestleMania on this week’s SmackDown.

The latest SmackDown episode saw disgruntled Bloodline members take their frustration out on Sami Zayn. As mentioned earlier, Zayn and Owens stripped The Usos of their Undisputed Tag Team titles. This also ended The Usos’ 600+ days reign as champions.

Naturally, they were upset and didn’t let go of the opportunity to avenge the recent heartbreak. Jey Uso faced Sami Zayn in the ring after Solo Sikoa attacked Kevin Owens backstage. Sikoa then sneaked behind the match official and hit Zayn with a Samoan Spike, enabling his brother to win the encounter.
