Kevin Owens Challenges Sami Zayn to Face Him at WWE Elimination Chamber

Kevin Owens is done talking—he wants a fight. Just hours after Sami Zayn gave an emotional update on his neck injury, Owens sent a message during SmackDown, challenging his former best friend to meet him face-to-face in Toronto at WWE Elimination Chamber.

The bad blood between Owens and Zayn has reached new heights since Owens viciously attacked Zayn on Raw, delivering a Package Piledriver that left the former Undisputed Tag Team Champion stretchered out of the arena. In his first public comments since the assault, Zayn admitted he’s dealing with nerve damage and has no idea when he’ll be cleared to return. But despite the injury, he promised that when he does come back, Owens is going to pay.

Owens clearly isn’t losing sleep over it. During SmackDown, he made it clear that Zayn has no idea what real pain feels like.

“I’m not doing good because I was backstabbed. My heart was broken by three of my brothers,” Owens said, referencing the betrayal he feels from Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, and now Zayn. “Sami thinks he knows real pain? He has no idea. But I’ll show him.”

Owens then threw down the challenge, demanding that Zayn meet him in Toronto at Elimination Chamber.

The former best friends have betrayed each other countless times over the years, but this time, things feel different. Zayn accused Owens of trying to end his career, while Owens believes Zayn left him for dead at the Royal Rumble. This isn’t just about competition—it’s personal.

With Zayn’s injury status still unclear, the question now is—will he show up in Toronto and accept Owens’ challenge, or will Owens be left waiting in the ring? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
