Someone notify the authorities, because these guys just stole the show.

good tag team wrestling is hard to come by.

Also did the league of nations return with Nakamura...... I know Nakamura has been coasting but he doesn't deserve this. Poor Rusev doesn't deserve this a second time either.

So Zayn or Harper would have made a ton of sense here.

Instead...what? So freaking random.

Makes sense considering he was supposed to be what Kofi is now.

I don't think the crowds are buying Owens as a babyface yet

Also a brilliant move considering it has the fans chanting for Kofi. I think the excitement of Zayn would have overridden the Kofi disappointment.

I think they are just throwing crap at a wall at this point.

Ali has no story whatsoever to be in this match. He could be a top baby face in the future, but you need a story of some sort to make guys matter.

I think that's the point. Get the fans thinking it's Kofi and then give them someone they're indifferent about (at the moment). Listen to those Kofi chants.

Kind of sucks for Ali. Reminds me of when Rey Mysterio entered the Rumble and everyone wanted Bryan :lol: People don't want him there.

Read on Twitter


This is a brand of kayfabe breaking I can get behind. It's cheeky - it doesn't have an impact on an actual feud or match.

Haha, very true. It will just be for one night though, I'm sure.

True. As long as the indifference doesn’t hurt Ali and his push. Which it shouldn’t, but you never know.

I think using a heel would have been better and smarter if you weren't going to go with Zayn. Giving Ali heat for no reason.

Getting more sympathy for Kofi as the babyface under dog... You can't have the champ lose clean or the returning star
you're high on and are giving a big push. Ali is in there to make sure neither DB or Owens take a clean L and gets
the rub of being in a world tittle match with main eventers everybody wins.

Where on earth is Zayn anyway? Is he still hurt?
