I can't imagine the company would pull upper mid-card guys off an international tour due to a promo. Jobbing them out, sure...but to piss off ticket paying fans by pulling them...that seems unusual.  

You apparently do not understand the new WWE.  Ticket paying fans are meaningless.  Social.  Media.  Engagement!!!  Nobody cares about crowd size anymore.

 

Now they will be on the 'not allowed to get over' list with everyone on the roster except for Reigns.

No clue if it's any different from the original broadcast, but I know the current Hulu version of Smackdown wasn't put up until a couple hours ago.

No clue if there was an old version, or if anything was edited but I thought it was a little weird that it wasn't up this morning.

IF they strayed off script I assume it would have been edited off the broadcast so it could be something we never got to hear anyways.

Good point. 

Maybe it’s a work to make them “outsiders” and Vince wants to do his own watered down bullet club invasion angle.

It could all be part of angle, Shane sends them home for being "unprofessional", Owens and Zayn have more fuel to their favoritism claims and it leads to wherever this is leading. I think this whole Owens and Zayn vs Shane thing leads to Triple H showing up on SmackDown to back Owens and Zayn. I was thinking that like a 6 man tag match at Mania of Owens, Zayn, and Triple H vs Shane, Cena cuz it's in his character to side with Shane and I couldn't think of a third guy other than vince and I can't see 72 year old Vince out there well I can but I can't see anyone with any clout backstage letting him do it.

Except a few weeks ago they pulled Angle out of retirement, flew Styles halfway around the world  and put HHH in The Shield to salvage live shows.

That’s what makes this concerning. They usually don’t fuck around with international tours.

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn went against a creative directive given to them before SmackDown last night and we’re told it contributed to them being sent home.

 

Multiple sources tell us Sami and Kevin were supposed to “feed” for New Day following Zayn vs. Kofi Kingston yesterday, but for some reason they didn’t follow directions and left the ring.

The PWTorch glossary of insider wrestling terms defines “feeding” as: “The heel’s role during a babyface comeback where he runs at the babyface only to be repeatedly fended off, with the hope that the series of bumps by the heel will generate positive fan heat for the babyface.”

Owens hit the ring as soon as the match ended and attacked Kofi as planned. However, he and Sami quickly bailed from the ring. New Day then stood waiting, same for the sound crew who didn’t play anyone’s music, and the segment ended awkwardly when the two wrestlers seemingly went off script by not taking their planned beating afterward.

Since publishing the story on Owens/Zayn being sent home, multiple sources reached out saying the duo have been slightly difficult to work with lately and seem unhappy backstage.

It’s worth noting that they were both close with recently fired writer Jimmy Jacobs and Neville (who hasn’t been heard from since walking out).

Stay tuned for more updates.

Probably

I should have said Undertaker's ex wife.  DDP didn't feed for Taker and ended up getting pinned clean by Sara Undertaker as a result.

You should have, but instead you set me up for a one-liner, so bless you.
