Sami Zayn has been feuding with Johnny Knoxville since January, and their bitter rivalry came to a head at WWE WrestleMania 38 Night Two.
From Zayn crashing the Jackass Forever red carpet premiere to Knoxville posting Zayn’s phone number on a plane banner, the animosity was at an all-time high heading into their Anything Goes Match on Sunday night.

Weapons came into play early and often. Knoxville used a fire extinguisher, while “The Master Strategist” used a cookie sheet. The Jackass star fired back with garbage can lids, while the former WWE Intercontinental Champion pulled out a table covered in mousetraps. “Party Boy” Chris Pontius distracted Zayn by stripping down to his underwear, and the SmackDown star attached him. The distraction helped Knoxville earn a two count with a sneaky pin attempt. Wee Man borrowed a page out of Hornswoggle’s book and came from under the ring to help Knoxville. He kicked Zayn and slammed him to the mat.

Knoxville took advantage by planting Zayn with a tornado DDT for a two count. Zayn then blasted Wee Man with a Helluva Kick. Knoxville blasted Zayn with pyro, rolled a bowling ball between his legs, and used an automatic kicker device to kick his opponent where the sun doesn’t shine. In true Jackass fashion, Zayn was flattened by a massive hand at ringside. Knoxville continued to target Zayn’s family jewels by grabbing them with tongs. He proceeded to send Zayn crashing through the mousetrap-covered table.
The entire Jackass team set up a huge mousetrap and put it in the ring. Knoxville teased Zayn and put him in the mousetrap and slammed it onto him. With Zayn pinned under the trap, Knoxville pinned him to win the match. He celebrated his win with his Jackass co-stars.
