Sami Zayn‘s old rival might be on his way back for a rematch. While nothing is officially announced yet, WWE posted a video that shows us how angry Johnny Knoxville is at his former opponent. While the latter is not professionally a pro wrestler, the two picked up on a rivalry last year that didn’t dial down until they faced each other off at WrestleMania.

Knoxville and Zayn’s rivalry takes a new turn

Both Knoxville and Zayn engaged in a feud last year and it culminated in a match at WrestleMania which, Knoxville won. Though Knoxville’s win at WrestleMania 38 ended their rivalry, Zayn did not miss his chance to take a dig at him ahead of WrestleMania this year.

Even though it has been more than a year since the duo officially wrestled it out, it looks like the actor is still sore and might be willing to entertain fans with the feud once again given his recent actions on WWE The Bump.
