– This week’s RAW saw former SmackDown Superstars Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn approach RAW General Manager Kurt Angle and ask him for a job with the red brand after they were officially fired from SmackDown due to the WrestleMania 34 loss to Shane McMahon and SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan. Angle later let the two fight for a contract and that match ended in a no contest, resulting in no RAW job for either man, but Angle did name TNA during the backstage segment to set up the match. Angle first told Owens and Sami that the RAW tag team division was full but he heard “TNA is hiring.”
No word yet on what is next for Sami and Owens but you can see footage from their match above.
