Johnny Knoxville appears on WWE SmackDown, challenges Sami Zayn

Johnny Knoxville appeared on tonight’s SmackDown, challenging Sami Zayn to a Intercontinental title match.

Zayn held a celebration on tonight’s show after winning the Intercontinental title last week on SmackDown. The celebration was interrupted when Knoxville came out and challenged Zayn to a match for the title. Zayn refused and started to leave, but then jumped Knoxville, setting him up in a corner and striking him twice with a helluva kick.

Later backstage, Adam Pearce chastized Zayn for his actions. Ricochet then said he wanted a shot at the Intercontinental title. Zayn at first said no, but Pearce made the match for next week.

Knoxville and Zayn’s feud dates back prior to the Royal Rumble, where Knoxville announced his intentions to win the Royal Rumble match. Zayn confronted him, saying that he didn’t belong in the match. At the Royal Rumble, Zayn eliminated Knoxville.

At the premiere of the “Jackass Forever” movie earlier this month, Zayn took part in an angle where he hijacked the red carpet. Both he and Knoxville got into an argument before Zayn exited.
