WWE News: Big Backstage Update On Sami Zayn Injury From His Match On WWE RAW, Will He Miss Any Time?


As we saw last night on WWE RAW, WWE NXT star Sami Zayn decided to accept John Cena’s United States Championship open challenge. It was a fantastic surprise to see the hometown boy make his debut on WWE RAW. Zayn has appeared on RAW in the past, but it was not an official debut. This time around, his appearance on RAW is being considered his official debut. This is a good thing for fans, but will Zayn be able to perform?

It appeared that Sami Zayn ended up hurting himself in the match with Cena. It looked as if Zayn caught his shoulder awkwardly on a back body drop by Cena. However, this was not where Zayn actually hurt himself.

The injury seemed to happen so early in the match that many wondered how he could have hurt himself. According to EWrestling News, Zayn actually hurt himself on his entrance to the ring when he was trying to pump up the crowd. He didn’t look hurt initially, so it could have been that a few moves in the ring led to him being looked at. The doctor checked him out during the match, just to make sure Zayn was alright to work. Luckily, Zayn was able to work the rest of the match where he and Cena looked fantastic.

For those unaware, Sami Zayn has been dealing with nagging shoulder problems for some time now. Eventually, an issue was going to occur like this. If it didn’t happen in his match with Cena, it very well could have occurred later this month in his match with Kevin Owens.

During interviews around WrestleMania time, Zayn denied the rumors of him having shoulder problems. This very well could have been a period of time where he was hurt but probably felt better. So, naturally he would be able to deny the issues. However, now that he looked legit hurt during his match on WWE RAW….he cannot deny the problems.

This very well may not be a serious injury for Zayn. We will find out soon, as Zayn is scheduled to have an MRI done today. The results will obviously be a big deal. Since he is set for the WWE NXT: Unstoppable live show on the WWE Network later this month, WWE would hate to have to cancel such a huge match due to Zayn having a shoulder injury. Sami Zayn is facing his main rival Kevin Owens for Owens’ NXT Championship.

Zayn is not injury prone, like Booker T seemed to question randomly on WWE RAW. Rather, if he has been dealing with shoulder issues for quite some time it makes sense to see an issue like this pop up. Most believe he will not miss much time with the injury and that it is not serious. We will find out soon though.
