“I’m cautious here to not pull back the curtain too much. I had caught wind that was going to be the plan a few weeks out. But, for whatever reason, there was still this sort of – as WWE can be – this the card is subject to change mentality. It’s really unsettling. It’s like ‘let’s just commit to this, shall we?’ [laughs].

It was pencilled in as far as I know – and again, I could be wrong because I’m not behind the scenes in those meetings – but as far as I know it was pencilled in for a while, just because the story had so much investment behind it and time behind it. And, it was simply the best story heading into the event. But, there was a little bit of ‘we don’t know what might change’ and this and that. “

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will be defending the Undisputed Tag Team Championships at WWE Night Of Champions in Saudi Arabia. They will be challenged by Roman Reignd and Solo Sikoa and it’s sure t be a match worth waiting for.
