Sami Zayn was finally acknowledged by The Bloodline.
During the May 27 episode of WWE SmackDown, Zayn appeared as the guest on a special edition of The KO Show. After a friendly start, tensions began to rise when Owens took exception with Sami calling him 'Uce.' He then told Sami that The Bloodline couldn't care less about him, a statement which prompted Zayn to walk out on his old friend.
Backstage, Sami approached Jimmy and Jey Uso and explained that he wants to be associated with the group. He knows he isn't family, but feels he has earned it by watching their backs and says he will continue to do so moving forward. Much to Jey's surprise, Jimmy Uso agreed and declared Sami an "Honorary Uce."
Without the blessing of Roman Reigns, it remains to be seen if Sami's new designation will stick.
