WWE WrestleMania 38: Sami Zayn takes shot at current champions after big show snub

Sami Zayn has commented on both the Intercontinental Title and United States Championship not being defended at WrestleMania.

Furthering his point, Zayn, who was defeated by Jackass star Johnny Knoxville in one of the most entertaining matches of the weekend, uses Seth Rollins as an example of how sometimes cards are a struggle to fill and the difficulty in finding a place for everything.

“That’s one of the things people don’t understand about
