WWE Day 1 is set to go down on January 1st, and next week’s SmackDown will feature a gauntlet match to determine a new #1 contender for the IC Title. It turns out the winner of that match might have been spoiled.
Sami Zayn went through a huge change in character over the past year, as he went from babyface to a conniving heel. His current gimmick sees him as a conspiracy theorist who thinks WWE is out to get him at every opportunity. Zayn is also hell-bent on finishing up his documentary and show the world that he never lied in the first place.
Sami Zayn’s feud with the likes of Kevin Owens over the years has drawn a lot of praise from fans and pro wrestlers alike. Zayn continues to hone his craft and is a highlight of WWE television.
After the conclusion of Friday’s episode of SmackDown at the Allstate Arena, the company taped matches for the December 24 Christmas Eve edition of the show.
As part of the taping, the 12 Days of Christmas Gauntlet took place to determine the #1 contender to Shinsuke Nakamura’s Intercontinental Championship.
In the end, Sami Zayn won the match after eliminating Ricochet. Thus, Sami Zayn will be challenging Shinsuke Nakamura for his WWE Intercontinental Championship at WWE Day 1 on January 1, next year. We will have to wait and see who will end up winning the match at the event.
