Johnny Knoxville vs. Sami Zayn (Anything Goes Match)
Johnny Knoxville will look to make a “Jackass” out of Sami Zayn when the two bitter adversaries clash in an Anything Goes Match on WrestleMania Sunday!
The tremendous animosity began when Knoxville first came to WWE on a quest to enter the 2022 Royal Rumble Match, and The Master Strategist took it upon himself to inform the Jackass star that he didn’t belong.
This lit the fuse on a volatile back-and-forth that quickly spun out of control. In addition to numerous physical confrontations on SmackDown and at the Royal Rumble, they also executed a series of antics on one another that included Zayn attempting to out-“Jackass” his foe with the creation of the “InZayn” stunt show and crashing the “Jackass Forever” Red Carpet Premiere, while Knoxville hit Zayn with The Master Strategist's own cattle prod and crashed a WWE Pop Up store in order to shred his adversary’s t-shirt.
When Zayn captured his third Intercontinental Championship from Shinsuke Nakamura, Knoxville emerged the following week on SmackDown to challenge the new titleholder. Zayn once again attempted to belittle Knoxville by telling him that he didn’t belong in WWE before unleashing a vicious attack. In response, Knoxville helped Ricochet defeat Zayn for the Intercontinental Title one week later. Irate over the loss of the workhorse title after just two weeks, Zayn demanded a match at WrestleMania, and Knoxville happily accepted.
Not done tormenting Zayn, Knoxville continued to up the stakes in their evolving prank battle by flying Zayn's phone number around Los Angeles, resulting in The Master Strategist upping the stakes of their showdown to an Anything Goes Match.
