Sami Zayn won his first WWE United States Championship by defeating Solo Sikoa during an episode of SmackDown in Lyon, France, showcasing Zayn’s resilience in the face of interference and paving the way for his ambition to become a Grand Slam Champion.

In an exciting SmackDown match, Sami Zayn faced Solo Sikoa, a key member of The Bloodline. Sikoa’s allies, known as the MFTs, attempted to interfere, but Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu intervened to neutralise them. Despite enduring a brutal assault from Sikoa, Zayn managed to deliver two Helluva Kicks to secure the pinfall victory. This win, celebrated in front of a lively crowd in Lyon, marked Zayn’s first reign as the United States Champion, per WWE.

In a post-match video shared by WWE on social media, Sami Zayn expressed deep emotion about his achievement, stating, “This is validation and vindication.” He also set his sights on the World Heavyweight Championship, saying, “When I win that World Championship, I’ll be a Grand Slam Champion.” Zayn’s previous titles include the Intercontinental Championship, which he won in 2020 against Braun Strowman, and the Tag Team Championship, which he won with Kevin Owens against The Usos.
