1. Will Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn betray SmackDown Live?
We started this thread questioning the possibilities of Jason Jordan betraying the Red Team. As such, it is rather poetic that we end this discussing whether Owens and Zayn will betray the Blue Team. We all saw how cunningly the heel duo escaped from the ring as the Shield made their way to the ring on Tuesday night.
Moreover, nobody from the Red Team tried to look for these two backstage or take them out. The two of them were noticeably absent from SmackDown‘s siege on Raw as well. It can be argued that Owens and Zayn have issues with Shane McMahon which could explain their reluctance to join hands with the rest of the roster.
However, the return of Triple H and the addition of the Game to the Survivor Series team has certainly complicated things. What if Owens and Zayn have been working for the game all along? From as far as back as Hell in a Cell? What if all of this was a master plan by the Cerebral Assassin to bring down Shane O’Mac?
On Sunday, the biggest question would be as to what will be the involvement of Owens and Zayn in the proceedings. They are not a part of the card. However, it goes without saying that these two will be featured heavily at some point during the night. Whether that leads to a victory for the Red Team or for the Blue Team remains a mystery.
One one hand, these two could be working for Triple H and might end up betraying all of the Blue Team. On the other hand, they might just help Team Blue win, causing an unfathomable amount of discomfort and embarrassment for Shane McMahon, as the two men he kept aside all along was the sole reason for the Blue Brand’s victory. I like the first idea more though. An emphatic return to Monday nights as Triple H’s left and right hands would catapult Zayn and Owens back to relevance.
