Tonight\u2019s (Aug. 15) episode of SmackDown kicked off with Solo Sikoa gloating about the MFTs\u2019 recent track record of stomping out babyfaces like Jimmy Uso, Sami Zayn, and Jacob Fatu.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long for Sami to interrupt Solo\u2019s interview for a little chat. He actually thanked Solo for screwing him out of a potential win over Rusev on this week\u2019s Raw. Zayn said that was the end of his world title chase, but it has now liberated him to accomplish so many other things in WWE. One of the items on his checklist is to win another belt he\u2019s never held before, the United States championship.<\/p>\n
Solo didn\u2019t take kindly to that threat, and told Sami to take his ass back to Raw where he belongs. That\u2019s when Zayn dropped some big news; he\u2019s now officially on the SmackDown roster!<\/p>\n
The MFTs attacked Sami at that point. Jimmy and Jacob came out for the save, setting up a six-man tag team main event match for later in the night.<\/p>\n
It was never explained what Raw gets in exchange for losing Sami, so I guess that will be revealed whenever WWE creative figures it out.<\/p>\n
What do you think about WWE\u2019s decision to move Sami over to SmackDown?
