Thank you? Welcome to the Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens era of SmackDown. The bond between the two former Canadian rivals was explained tonight (Oct. 10) on SmackDown.
Why Sami? Why would you help a man who has beaten you across multiple promotions, for multiple years on end? Per Zayn himself because it was the right thing to do.

Even when Sami Zayn does something somewhat controversial, like help Owens defeat Shane McMahon at Hell in a Cell, he comes from a good place. Great at rivals, maybe even better as friends?
Thought you'd see these two #FightForever? After @SamiZayn's explanation, it looks like he & @FightOwensFight are #FRIENDSForever! #SDLive pic.twitter.com/U4oflNyDid

If tonight’s SmackDown is any indication, the bromance of Owens-Zayn is here to stay.
