News broke on Wednesday that Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens had been sent home early from WWE’s European tour. After the news broke, it was reported that Zayn and Owens went off script during their segment with the New Day on Smackdown Live, which contributed to them getting sent home by WWE.
We have some more details to share for you on the situation.
According to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, there were several reasons that contributed to Owens & Zayn being sent home, rather than just one.
Johnson says that Owens and Zayn allegedly “did what they wanted” to close their segment with the New Day. This corroborates with the report from Pro Wrestling Sheet who said that Owens & Zayn went against the creative direction given to them.
Johnson also reports that Owens was allegedly complaining loudly on a tour bus after the taping. A source described it to him as “the last straw following a long few days of touring.” Another source says that Owens was just venting and it wasn’t a big issue but what happened at Smackdown might have forced WWE’s hand to send them home.
Owens and Zayn reportedly returned to the United States on Wednesday.
