During this week’s episode of Raw, Sami Zayn appeared to have been written off WWE television as part of an injury angle after Drew McIntyre stamped on his knee. And now providing a possible reason for this, Dave Meltzer has reported in the Wrestling Newsletter Observer that Zayn had requested time off, which was approved by management. Surprisingly, it was also noted that he isn’t currently booked for WWE’s house show in his hometown of Laval, Quebec, on December 28, seemingly confirming he’ll be out until at least the end of the year.
“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.”
Dave Meltzer39-year-old Zayn is currently one of WWE’s most popular babyfaces, and at one time, many fans believed he could be the man to dethrone Roman Reigns. However, while that clearly didn’t happen, WWE still rewarded the Canadian for grabbing Vince McMahon’s imaginary brass ring by having him headline night one of WrestleMania 39 alongside longtime best friend Kevin Owens against The Uso’s.
