Sami Zayn wants to get extreme at WWE WrestleMania 38.
Ahead of the March 18 episode of WWE SmackDown, “The Master Strategist” was already set to face “Jackass Forever” star Johnny Knoxville at “The Showcase of the Immortals.” They’ve been feuding since January, as Zayn took issue with Knoxville’s participation in the Royal Rumble match. The conflict has continued to escalate ever since; Zayn crashed the red carpet premiere of “Jackass Forever” and later attacked Knoxville when he showed up on SmackDown. The actor then cost Zayn his WWE Intercontinental Championship in a match against Ricochet.
Knoxville made the rivalry even more personal when he shared Zayn’s phone number by putting it on a plane planner. Infuriated by the ongoing disrespect, Zayn challenged Knoxville to agree to make their WrestleMania bout an “Anything Goes” match.

Later in the show, in a video message, Knoxville confirmed the stipulation by saying he can take anything Zayn throws at him. He then warned Zayn that he’s “toast” when they clash on WrestleMania Sunday.
"I accept, shnookums!"
