Sami Zayn is coming to WWE Raw.
WWE announced that Sami Zayn will take on AJ Styles on the September 26 episode of WWE Raw. Solo Sikoa will be in the corner of the Honorary Uce. The bout was set up on social media after Styles took shots at Zayn being given a t-shirt from The Bloodline.
During a back-and-forth on Twitter over the weekend, Sami Zayn took exception to ridicule by AJ Styles having to do with the "Honorary Uce" T-Shirt that Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns gifted The Master Strategist on SmackDown.
Styles initially wrote:
Man, people will do anything for a T-shirt these days… #pathetic https://t.co/IWXmfeTVAo
— AJ Styles (@AJStylesOrg) September 24, 2022Zayn took offense to the post and responded to The Phenomenal One with the suggestion that he might have to journey to Raw on Monday to sort matters out with The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa at his side:
Roman Reigns GIFTED me the HONORARY UCE T-shirt (now available at @WWEShop & selling like crazy, from what I hear)
— Sami Zayn (@SamiZayn) September 25, 2022
Disrespect the shirt = disrespect The Bloodline. Might just come to Raw on Monday to sort this out.
Oh, and I don’t travel alone.
Pack your bags uce. @WWESoloSikoa https://t.co/wBpvBU1sJdStyles was more than happy to accommodate The Honorary Uce:
Sami, you have me shaking. Shaking in the boots that have garnered me the respect of the entire wrestling world.

Bring the kid.
Bring your dumb shirt… sorry your dumb gift shirt.
