Additionally, after walking out on his match against Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn will be forced to get back in the ring with the Scottish Warrior when they go head-to-head next week. Sami is looking to earn back the respect of the locker room after what he called an embarrassing defeat to Johnny Knoxville at WrestleMania 38.

The updated lineup for next week's show can be seen below.
