The former Intercontinental Champion Sami Zyan appeared as special guest on latest episode of Taking Smack co-hosted by Paul Heyman and Kayla Braxton. During the show, Sami Zyan confronted Paul Heyman and thanked him for proving the conspiracy against him.
After Sami Zyan went off from the show, Paul Heyman said that the Idea of burying Sami Zyan came from his fellow superstar Kevin Owens.
He, even, said that while he was in executive director of Raw, he had idea of putting Sami Zyan and Kevin Owens against, then Raw Tag Team Champions, Street Profits but Owens denied it and told to bury him. Here what Paul Heyman said:
“Listen, we were in meetings and it wasn’t even my idea to bury him. It was Kevin Owens’ idea to bury him. We were running hot on RAW and the Street Profits were the Tag Team Champions and I needed a tag team to go against the Street Profits. I went to Kevin Owens and I said, ‘Why don’t you team with Sami Zayn again and we’ll put you up against the Street Profits.’
“[Owens said] ‘Are you kidding me, I’ve known that guy since we were kids together, he’s a p***! I don’t like him, bury him in meetings.’ I said no no KO, I don’t wanna bury Sami in meetings.’ He said, ‘no no no, everyone else buries him, you might as well just bury him.’ I did. It was part of a conspiracy because Kevin Owens didn’t like him, he told me that that’s the way he was since he was a kid.” (H/T: Fightful)
There weren’t have enough evidence to prove Paul Heyman claims as he said truth or he’s trying to reignite feud between Sami Zyan and Kevin Owens, after Kevin Owens heated feud with Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.
