With Sami Zayn set to defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 36, he first got in some shots on his opponent Daniel Bryan during tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown. In a match against Shinsuke Nakamura, Bryan was able to take nearly down one-third of Zayn’s group, forcing Nakamura into a Yes Lock before being interrupted by Cesaro.
After the disqualification ended the match, Zayn, Cesaro, and Nakamura proceeded to take down Bryan and Drew Gulak, with Zayn laughing the entire way and proclaiming that this is what would happen at WrestleMania.
