As noted, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens have both been sent home after last night’s taping of SmackDown.
According to a report by Sports Illustrated, Vince McMahon approved the decision to send them home after “going into business for themselves” during their on-air time on last night’s SmackDown. It was said that they were sent home “for conduct deemed detrimental to the WWE.” You can see their segment in the video below:
According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Zayn and Owens didn’t follow directions given to them during their segment with the New Day during last night’s SmackDown taping as they were supposed to “feed” New Day after Zayn vs. Kingston. The plan was for Owens and Zayn to continue attacking New Day after the match – getting pushed back each time they tried – until finally retreating. This was meant to get a bigger reaction for New Day. Owens did jump in the ring after Kofi won the match, but Zayn and Owens quickly exited the ring afterwards, which just left New Day standing there, making for an awkward ending to the segment.
