Sami Zayn has laid down a WrestleMania challenge.
On the March 4 episode of WWE SmackDown, Johnny Knoxville came out during Sami Zayn's Intercontinental Championship match, distracting him long enough for Ricochet to take advantage and capture the belt from The Master Strategist. After the match, Zayn could be seen backstage and was irate about Knoxville following him around. He then told the Jackass Star to follow him to WrestleMania in Dallas.
Knoxville was interviewed backstage later in the night and said he has put his body through worse than anything Sami could do. He accepted the challenge, making the match for WrestleMania official.
The two men have been feuding since before the Royal Rumble and it has continued even outside the ring, with Sami being thrown off the Jackass Forever red carpet. When Knoxville tried to challenge Zayn for the belt last week, he was met with two Helluva Kicks.
