WWE SmackDown: Sami Zayn Spoofed The Slammy Awards And It Ended Badly
Sami Zayn spoofed WWE s Slammy Awards on Friday night during SmackDown, presenting what he called the Sami Awards. It started out with Sami presenting a video montage talking about the trials and tribulations of 2002, which focused entirely on himself. As you d expect, all of the awards were slated to go to himself, but earlier in the night, Big E was shown messing with the envelopes backstage and laughing to himself.
Zayn came out to the top of the stage in the ThunderDome during hour number two to start the awards, and the first Sami Award was for Comeback of the Year. Zayn mentioned both Edge and Roman Reigns having great comebacks. However, he added that My name is probably in contention. Indeed, as you d expect, Zayn presented the award to himself.

Raw s ratings hit record lows this week, and it sounds like WWE will be taking action in the immediate future.

AEW Dynamite (marking the first time an AEW program has beaten out the Red Brand in that demo).
Hours after the ratings dropped online, @WrestleVotes popped up on Twitter with a new backstage report regarding the reaction backstage.
