The Bloodline member seemingly references controversial CM Punk incident on WWE SmackDown

On this week's episode of WWE SmackDown, Sami Zayn seemingly took a dig at CM Punk's controversial incident with Chris Jericho.

Post AEW's All Out pay-per-view, Jericho seemingly told the former AEW World Champion that he was a "cancer" to the locker room. During The Bloodline's promo, Zayn referred to Owens as the same.

Zayn and The Bloodline have been feuding with the former Universal Champion for weeks. The Honorary Uce will team up with Roman Reigns to face Owens and John Cena on the final episode of SmackDown in 2022.

This week's edition of SmackDown took place in CM Punk's hometown Chicago. The show ended with The Bloodline being confronted by Cena, who appeared via a video message.

A few weeks back, AEW also hosted an episode of Dynamite in Chicago featuring The Elite. During Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks' match against Death Triangle, the AEW EVPs took digs at Punk after he fired shots at the trio at the All Out media scrum.

Omega mocked the former AEW World Champion by hitting the Go To Sleep move. Punk's botched attempt at the Buckshot Lariat was also replicated on the show. Punk is currently sidelined with injury as his AEW future is still reportedly up in the air.
