Alright, folks, gather ’round because WWE Raw just put on a show that was more electric than a coffee pot in a power surge. Sami Zayn, Montreal’s own wrestling maestro, was back in his stomping grounds and let me tell you, he wasn’t just there to enjoy the poutine. No sir, he was defending his Intercontinental Championship against Chad Gable in a match that had more twists and turns than a mountain road.
From the get-go, the crowd was on fire, cheering their hometown hero with the kind of enthusiasm you’d expect at a hockey game. Zayn, feeling that hometown love, danced his way through the match despite nursing what looked like a tricky ankle issue. And let me tell you, Gable wasn’t handing out any favors; he targeted that ankle like it owed him money, but our boy Sami kept slipping out like a greased-up Houdini.
After a grueling match, Zayn managed to roll out of one last ankle lock, hit Gable with an Exploder and a Helluva Kick that could knock the sense into you, and secured the win. The crowd went wild, Zayn’s family rushed to celebrate, and for a moment, it was all cheers and hugs.
But hold your horses—just as Zayn was soaking in the love, Gable decided he wasn’t done. In a move that turned heel faster than a politician’s promise, Gable yanked Zayn from his family’s embrace and unleashed a fury that ended with Zayn tangled in the ropes and Gable clinging to an ankle lock like a last piece of Thanksgiving turkey.
The show closed on that sour note, with Gable showing a side darker than a burnt toast, leaving everyone wondering, “What’s eating Chad Gable?” Meanwhile, Zayn’s earlier run-in with Jey Uso and a spontaneous dance with Youppi! the mascot, turned from a sweet homecoming into a reminder that in WWE, you gotta watch your back even during the after-party.
Next week, we’ll see if Zayn can bounce back or if Gable’s new attitude spells more trouble. Either way, WWE Raw in Montreal wasn’t just a wrestling match; it was a rollercoaster of emotions with a side of drama!
