Sami Zayn has been issuing open challenges on SmackDown every week
Sami Zayn made history when he won his first United States Championship by beating Solo Sikoa last month on an episode of SmackDown. Since then, Sami has taken a page off of John Cena’s book and started to issue US open challenges every week.
When Cena won the US title back in 2015, he started the trend of issuing such US Open challenges. During the run, Cena faced many up and coming stars like Kevin Owens, Cesaro, Neville and even Zayn himself. The story came full circle when Cena challenged Zayn for the US title on SmackDown few weeks ago in his last SmackDown match ever.
These open challenges have become one of the biggest attractions on SmackDown every week and fans seem to enjoy them.

Fans are also excited to see John Cena face AJ Styles one final time on next week’s Crown Jewel Perth PLE.
