Roman Reigns sent Sami Zayn to take care of his Kevin Owens problem Friday night.
Late in the match, it appeared as though that is exactly what he would do as he had his longtime friend-turned-professional enemy set up for the Helluva Kick. Instead of executing it for the win, he watched as The Usos and Solo Sikoa hopped the guardrail and beat Owens down, leading to a disqualification.

Jimmy and Jey delivered a 1-D before placing him on the announce table for Sikoa to splash into oblivion. The show went off the air with Zayn hesitantly joining his teammates in a celebration, a look of dismay on his face.
This was more extraordinary work from all involved in what has become one of the best storyline WWE has produced in years.
The Usos and Sikoa were likely sent by Reigns, not only to soften Owens up ahead of the Royal Rumble title match but also to prevent Zayn from beating him. Why? Because Reigns’ fragile ego cannot stand the thought of an Honorary Uce doing something he is not sure he can do by himself.

For the first time, Zayn looked like a man questioning his Tribal Chief’s decision. He had the win in hand. It would have meant the world to him. Why ruin it? Maybe, because he is little more than a pawn.

A pawn used to set Owens up for the beat. A pawn, rather than a trusted ally of Reigns.
The moment he finally does come to that realization and stands up for himself, Zayn will be the biggest babyface in pro wrestling.
