Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting the reason Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were sent home from the current WWE UK tour is because they went against creative direction given to them before Smackdown.

Moments ago, we noted Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso reported Owens and Zayn were sent home due to ‘conduct deemed detrimental to the WWE’ and that decision was approved by Vince McMahon.

Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn Reportedly Sent Home For ‘Going Into Business For Themselves’ On Smackdown

According to sources, Owens and Zayn were supposed to ‘feed’ for New Day following the Sami Zayn versus Kofi Kingston match, but ended up leaving the ring and ignored that direction. Pro Wrestling Sheet cited Pro Wrestling Torch’s glossary for feeding to mean:

“The heel’s role during a babyface comeback where he runs at the babyface only to be repeatedly fended off, with the hope that the series of bumps by the heel will generate positive fan heat for the babyface.”

Pro Wrestling Sheet also reported multiple sources contacted them and commented on Owens and Zayn’s behavior as of late, saying they both had been difficult to work with lately. The Pro Wrestling Sheet report also stated it might be worth noting Owens and Zayn were both close with Jimmy Jacobs and Nevillewho have both left the company in recent weeks.

interesting....
 
The following weeks could get very interesting. Will they make an example out of them or will creative and Vince release some of the reins they have on them.....

I read that not long ago. May just be a work. I can't see them asking for a release. WWE has invested a lot in Owens. Sami status is elevated by being paired with Owens. They're probably be tag champs going into Mania or after.
 
If Sinclair Broadcasting really put money into it, ROH (partnering woith New Japan) could make a run at WWE.

With the amount of money others like Cody Rhodes and Austin Aries are making in the independent scene through bookings, having ownership of their own creative may be the thing that tempts them back to the indies.

WWE is mad restrictive.

During a live event/house show?
 
i might be reaching but when is the last time a wrestler been sent home on tour
and was it so widely reported and fit right in with the current story...it could be work
Not reaching actually. It may very well be a work....hoping it isn't.

Would like to see these two go to ROH, as it will generate buzz and bring even more eyes to that organization.

If they went, I would actually watch it instead of watch clips here and there.

Sinclair Broadcasting needs to open their checkbook though and invest big.
 
So someone just said let's redo all of Survivor Series I see. Would rather see AJ against Brock anyway.
 
Carmella ain't working with much but that one piece does so much for her sex appeal.

“I’m trying to get cleared as we speak.

All my tests have come back fantastic, better than people who have never had any concussion-type stuff. But it’s a weird thing. We’re in a weird situation politically with the climate around concussions; right now, it’s very difficult. WWE would love to have me back, but is that the smart thing for me as a business to bring me back? If I was to come back, and they let me back, would they get a lot of flak for it? They have a ton of stockholders that they’re responsible for. It’s more than just, ‘Is he healthy to do it?’

There’s more than that to the whole situation. All the concussion doctors think that I’m healthy enough to do it, and that I should be able to do it — well, I don’t want to say all of them, I’m sure there’s somebody out there who doesn’t think that — but there’s a lot more than goes into it than just that. That’s the unfortunate situation with giant corporations and big business in the United States.”
