Sami Zayn’s clash with Drew McIntyre has taken a devastating turn, as WWE revealed a serious injury on this week’s RAW. Last week on RAW, Sami Zayn faced Drew McIntyre in a singles match, where Zayn suffered a loss against the Scottish wrestler. Following the match, McIntyre launched a backstage assault on Zayn and targeted his already injured knee.
Clearly in pain, Zayn was immediately rushed to the trainer’s room. In this week’s episode of WWE RAW, Drew McIntyre, unapologetic for his actions, begrudgingly extended an apology to Zayn.
The Scottish warrior stated the assault was a direct consequence of Sami Zayn’s relentless verbal attacks and crossing personal boundaries by mentioning McIntyre’s family. WWE later confirmed on RAW that Sami Zayn’s diagnosis was a partially torn meniscus.
This unfortunate injury will sideline the former Intercontinental Champion for an undisclosed period. With the Royal Rumble approaching, the injury throws a wrench into Sami Zayn’s plans.
Is Sami Zayn injured?
Sami Zayn appears to be dealing with an injury after a brutal attack by Drew McIntyre on RAW, specifically targeting his knee. The latest edition of RAW announced that Zayn has been diagnosed with a partially torn meniscus, sidelining him from action.
The question arises whether it’s a genuine injury or part of a storyline, and it seems to be a storyline angle to temporarily remove Sami Zayn from WWE programming. According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer podcast, Zayn had requested time off recently, and it was granted, though it’s not confirmed if the storyline injury is the reason.
McIntyre’s act of stomping on Zayn’s injured knee introduced intricacies to the storyline, piquing fans’ curiosity about the future of the former Intercontinental Champion in WWE. Given that this injury is part of the storyline, fans anticipate his return around the Royal Rumble season.
