Kevin Owens And Sami Zayn Sent Home From WWE European Tour As Survivor Series Surprises Continue

According to the oft-disputed Justin Barraso of SI.com, Zayn and Owens reportedly "went into business for themselves" during an on-air segment on SmackDown Live, and the newly reunited best friends were kicked off the tour following conduct deemed detrimental to WWE.

WWE's infrastructure is a minefield of unwritten rules and protocol. Baron Corbin, Enzo Amore and most recently Lio Rush have all been on the receiving end of intense backstage heat that led to on-air consequences.

WWE's tours of Europe are typically successful, and while live event enthusiasm for the product doesn't seem to have died down, attendance Tuesday's SmackDown Live taping—which saw a 23% ratings rebound after AJ Styles defeated Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship—was relatively lackluster.

With these latest developments, it is becoming apparent that both Zayn and Owens are the most recent violators.

It's unknown just how severe ensuing punishments will be, if any, but WWE has a chance to use this life-imitating-art news story come Survivor Series.
