Remember him? WWE has a long history of bringing in celebrities for one reason or another, occasionally even having them get in the ring for special circumstances. It can be a big deal when someone from Hollywood gets involved with wrestling, especially if it winds up going well. Now though, we are seeing something of a role reversal from a former wrestling guest star.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: VIDEO: Longtime WWE Personality Makes Surprise Appearance On Monday Night Raw
WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn performed standup comedy over the weekend as part of the Netflix Is A Joke festival. During his set, actor Johnny Knoxville appeared in the crowd in a disguise before appearing on stage with Zayn. There was no physicality and nothing to suggest that there was any bad blood between the two. Knoxville and Zayn faced each other in a match at WrestleMania 38, which led to Zayn joining the Bloodline. Becky Lynch also made a surprise appearance at the event.

They might remember each other. Check out their time in WWE:
Opinion: This was a cool to see as Zayn was doing something rather difficult and intimidating in a lot of ways so having Knoxville show up was a nice gesture. They had a high profile match a few years ago so now it is cool to see Knoxville supporting him like this. I’m not sure if Knoxville is ever going to do anything else with WWE, but at least he is going out on something of a high note.
