It was reported last month that both Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens had backstage heat on them after they were kicked off the European tour for going into business for themselves in a segment with The New Day on SmackDown Live.

Dave Meltzer indicated in the latest installment of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Kevin Owens doesn’t have any heat on him anymore but Sami is a different story.

“It appears that all the controversy regarding Owens from when he and Zayn were sent home is gone, but the same isn’t the case of Zayn,” Meltzer wrote. Meltzer didn’t elaborate any further on the topic.
