WWE SmackDown video highlights: Kevin Owens vs. Solo Sikoa

Kevin Owens managed to survive last night’s SmackDown and make it to his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble.

On the eve of the Rumble, Owens was in action against Solo Sikoa in last night’s main event. Owens had the match won, but Sami Zayn saved Sikoa by pulling him out of the ring. The match ended in a no contest. Sikoa tried to take out Owens after, but Owens was able to fight him off. Owens gave Sikoa a pop-up powerbomb onto the announce table and then attacked him with a steel chair.

Zayn wasn’t supposed to be at SmackDown last night. He ignored Reigns’ orders and showed up to thank Jey Uso for coming to his defense in Monday’s Trial of Sami Zayn. Later in the night, Adam Pearce sent The Usos home for brawling with Owens. Jey called in a favor by asking Zayn to come back to SmackDown and help deal with Owens.

Also on last night’s show, Brock Lesnar declared for the Royal Rumble, LA Knight mocked Bray Wyatt, and the semifinals in the SmackDown Tag Team title contender’s tournament took place.
