On Friday’s WWE SmackDown, Zayn apologized to Roman Reigns for trying to call his shot and then losing on the December 30 episode of WWE SmackDown when he and Reigns teamed against John Cena & Owens. Reigns said he didn’t accept Sami’s apology and that he should be the one apologizing. Roman said he wasn’t mad at Sami, he was mad at Owens and took things out on Sami. It was then suggested that Sami face Owens to fix things.
