As noted, WWE began a new heel alliance between Sami Zayn and WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura on last night’s SmackDown as they teamed up to take out The Miz.
A fan tweeted about how Ali’s feud with Nakamura appears to have been dropped out of nowhere, and Ali re-tweeted that comment and wrote, “Yes.”
Ali vs. Nakamura had been rumored for WWE Clash of Champions but there was no sign of that feud continuing on SmackDown. Ali worked the pre-SmackDown dark match, defeating Samoa Joe, but did not appear on TV.
