Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn's longtime feud will continue next week — wether they like it or not.

The two opened the show very upset about what went down at the Royal Rumble. Kevin Owens was pinned in the match by Styles, but he wasn't the legal man, meaning that technically they never lost. They complained to Daniel Bryan, where eventually he agreed that they deserved another shot at the title. So he made a match for next week's Smackdown: Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn, with the winner facing AJ Styles at Smackdown's next PPV, Fastlane on March 11. Neither Owens or Zayn seemed happy about the idea.
