WWE fans rallied behind Sami Zayn as he and Cody Rhodes stole the show on Raw without a single punch being thrown.

The two superstars are both set to face Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in the near future, with Sami’s chance coming this weekend in his hometown of Montreal at Elimination Chamber.

The former Honorary Uce invaded the red brand on Monday night, hopping the barrier unexpectedly and calling out the Royal Rumble winner, who will challenge the Tribal Chief at WrestleMania 39.

The American Nightmare came out and asked what Sami wanted to talk about, which was whether Cody meant it when he said the underdog could beat Roman.

Sami admitted he knew he could, but he wasn’t sure he could leave Montreal as champion because he’s seen what The Bloodline and Roman can do – but Cody played up to the way he took down the group and pointed to the support of the crowd.

The audience rallied behind both men, especially Sami, and broke into chants several times during the whole segment.

This was truly something special, and words can’t really do justice to the magic the pair of them created.

As an aside, WWE would be wise to think about making the WrestleMania main event a Triple Threat with Roman defending against Sami and Cody.

The night started with Becky Lynch asking Adam Pearce for a chance to earn her way into the women’s Elimination Chamber match, but Bayley interrupted and made her own case.

Bianca Belair joined the fun, before Peace came out and made a Triple Threat main event where Becky or Bayley could get their spot with a win, but a Bianca victory would mean nothing changes.

It led to an absolute banger of a main event, which the EST won after hitting the KOD onto Becky on top of Bayley following plenty of chaos involving Damage CTRL and the Elimination Chamber competitors.

In the opening match, Judgment Day duo Finn Balor and Damian Priest beat Street Profits in an entertaining showcasing all four men.

After the bell, Edge and Beth Phoenix stopped the beatdown on Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford, but Rhea Ripley saved Dominik Mysterio from Beth’s attacked and laid out her rival with a Riptide.

Brock Lesnar was in a fiery mood as security guards lined the aisle for his contract signing with Bobby Lashley, who had a table set up on the stage just for him.

The All Mighty suggested he might not agree to the match, but it was a ploy as the Beast battled his way through the guards only to get laid out by his rival before Bobby put pen to paper.

Piper Niven built some momentum in a decent bout against Mia Yim, before a Baron Corbin backstage interview was interrupted by Sami Zayn hitting the ring.

After that segment, Corbin was backstage again ranting about Cody and Dusty Rhodes, which sparked an attack from the American Nightmare as he beat him to the ring and turned it into a match.

He made relatively quick work of the former King of the Ring, with Corbin showing a more serious side again but his direction remains unclear.

In a preview for the Elimination Chamber, Asuka, Carmella and Nikki Cross beat Natalya, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, although Asuka was the star as she actually took out her own partners in a wild and dominant display.

Bronson Reed looked strong as he beat Mustafa Ali in a brief but strong showing which will hopefully start to earn him the deserved response from the live crowds.

MizTV descended into chaos with Seth Rollins and The Miz exchanges words until the Visionary took out the A-Lister, only for Austin Theory to lay him out from behind.

Miz then try to weasel out of his match with Rick Boogs but the bell got rung and the hulking star picked up an effective win.

WWE Raw airs Monday nights at 1am on BT Sport 1.
