One of the bigger stories of the past two weeks was news that both Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were sent home from the WWE UK tour following the Smackdown Live tapings in Manchester, England.
As noted, Owens and Zayn were supposed to take part in a post-match beatdown angle, following their segment on Smackdown Live in Manchester, however, the two stars “went into business for themselves”, and did not participate in the angle. According to The Wrestling Observer, after the Sami Zayn vs Kofi Kingston match, Kevin Owens was supposed to attack Kingston, setting up a two on one, and then Big E and Xavier Woods were supposed to run in and make the save. This did not take place, however, and Owens and Zayn just left the ring following the match.

The Wrestling Observer added there were some people in WWE claiming the incident was a matter of a simple miscommunication, however, the feeling by most is that it 100% was not a miscommunication, and was clearly Owens and Zayn going into business for themselves and not doing what they were told.
Following Owens and Zayn being sent home from the tour, Kevin Owens posted a photo of him and his family at an Imagine Dragons concert. After that, a photo was posted by a fan on Twitter showing Owens making a surprise appearance at his wedding dessert party at Epcot Center in Orlando, FL. A Twitter battle then ensued between Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, during which Orton took a shot at Owens being sent home from The UK tour. The exchange on Twitter was said to be grounded in legitimate truth, as many talents were very upset with Owens and Zayn following their actions on Smackdown in Manchester.
