Update on Sami Zayn after WWE Raw injury angle
Sami Zayn may be taking some time off from WWE events.
In the new edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided an update on Zayn after an injury angle from this Monday’s Raw. Meltzer noted that he doesn’t have it confirmed that Zayn will be off for a while following the angle, but he does know that Zayn had asked for time off recently and was granted it. Meltzer wasn’t told when Zayn’s time off would begin.
It looked like they were doing an injury angle with McIntyre and Zayn when McIntyre stomped on Zayn’s bad knee. I don’t have it confirmed Zayn will be off for a while due to that, but do know that he had asked for time off recently and was granted it but wasn’t told when that would begin past he was not scheduled for 12/28 show in Laval, Quebec that would normally be built around him as that was during the scheduled break although it is possible they could have him do that show.
Drew McIntyre defeated Zayn on Raw after taking advantage of a supposed leg injury that Zayn suffered. After the match, McIntyre attacked Zayn backstage.
The December 28 event in Laval is a WWE Holiday Tour house show.
McIntyre also laid out Jey Uso and Seth Rollins on Monday’s Raw. McIntyre attacked Uso after Rollins retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Uso in the main event.
