Sami Zayn claimed the WWE Championship during the September 18 Blue Brand broadcast. The victory followed a chaotic sequence where Kevin Owens accidentally attacked CM Punk, allowing Zayn to secure the win.
How Kevin Owens' Mistake Handed Sami Zayn the Title
Sami Zayn secured his second WWE Championship victroy on the September 18 episode of the Blue Brand, as reported by the source. The match reached a shocking conclusion when Kevin Owens mistakenly struck CM Punk with the championship belt, creating a critical opening for Sami Zayn to execute his signature Helluva Kick and seal the victory.
This result has immediately shifted the power dynamics of the Blue Brand. Following the win, Sami Zayn framed his victory as a form of justice for himself and the wider audience, though the legitimacy of the win remains a point of contention among the locker room and management.
Nick Aldis' Order for a Zayn-Owens Rematch
General Manager Nick Aldis quickly intervened in the post-match celebrations to address the volatility of the title change . According to the report, Nick Aldis rejected demands for title shots from Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae, insisting that championship opportunities should not be granted to those he deems unworthy.
The tension escalated when Kevin Owens, feeling the booking of the division was unfair, demanded his own opportunity to compete for the gold. This confrontation led Nick Aldis to officially book a title defense for Sami Zayn against Kevin Owens, turning the former allies' friction into a sanctioned championship bout.
This conflict is part of a larger narrative of political disptues within the Blue Brand. The source suggests these tensions are driving what it calls "Pat-Pat booking," indicating that the internal politics of the show are now as central to the plot as the matches themselves.
Trick Williams' Path to the New Orleans Ladder Match
Outside of the main title picture, the Blue Brand hosted a triple-threat Money in the Bank qualifying match featuring Randy Orton, Rey Fenix, and Trick Williams. While Randy Orton managed to take out Rey Fenix with an RKO, Trick Williams capitalized on the chaos to pin Fenix and secure his spot in the upcoming ladder match in New Orleans.
The qualification of Trick Williams has reignited a debate among the commentary team regarding the eligibility of current champions in the Money in the Bank event. The report notes a persisting tagline that current title holders should be barred from competing for the briefcase, adding a layer of regulatory scrutiny to the event's prestige.
BAKUSAI's Disqualification Win and the Finn Balor Challenge
In the tag-team division, the duo known as BAKUSAI extended their dominance by securing a victory over Shinsuke Nakamura and Haku.. As the source reported, the match ended in a disqualification following external interference involving a walking stick used by Haku, which the report describes as a catastrophic turn for Shinsuke Nakamura.
The episode also left several narrative threads dangling. Finn Balor has openly challenged Kevin Owens for a title shot, and backstage segments featured Charlotte Flair in a symbolic confrontation involving a candle and Alexa Bliss. However, the report leaves several details unclear, specifically the identity of the "Gen diva" involved in the BAKUSAI match and the exact meaning of the "Pat-Pat booking" mentioned in the context of the title reign.
