Sami Zayn Shoulder Injury

[Koko B.]

WWE reported it, it must be true lol: http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/2015-05-04/sami-zayn-injury-update-27354413
First thing I thought when the injury happened: "Wasn't there a big boxing match recently where someone reportedly had an injured shoulder?" And when the match re-started, Cena starts ducking punches.

What a way to make Cena look even more badass.

Sort of proving my point with Guerrero. He clearly couldn't hang.

Aries is the exception, much like DZ. They should quit from their respective companies and open a new company, VME, Vanilla Midgets Elite.

Well, eddie kind of died, but his career wasn't a injury fuckfest :haha:

As for a company of vanilla midgets, ROH fits the bill. I'd confuse half their roster for pizza guys

You trying to tell me Rusev isn't a well of charisma?

Rusev doesn't have a single attribute I would be looking for if I ran a wrestling company lol. He would be jobbing his ass off

 

[Green Jesus]

Yeah, he's awful. I was kind of optimist when he debuted though.

God, I miss Mark Henry.

Sami Zayn's RAW match with WWE United States Champion John Cena this week was laid out, with Bret Hart's involvement, for Zayn to lose but get over as a big star in front of an audience where it was considered a lock that they would react in a big way for him.

This was not meant to be Zayn's full-time debut on the main roster but he was scheduled to wrestle on this week's SmackDown. Due to the injury suffered at RAW, SmackDown had to be re-written without the former NXT Champion.

Regarding the injury that happened before Zayn entered the ring on Monday night, there's still no official word on his status but one source noted to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that it appeared to be serious. There was reportedly talk in the locker room on Tuesday night that Zayn would be out of action for a few months. Two other sources said WWE had not received a report back from the doctor yet.

If Zayn is out of action for a few months, they would have to nix his match against NXT Champion Kevin Owens at Takeover: Unstoppable on May 20th. This could lead to Finn Balor or Hideo Itami, who will face Tyler Breeze in a #1 Contenders Triple Threat that night, getting the shot against Owens.

- After recently having shoulder surgery, Sami Zayn is expected out of action until October. WWE has another NXT Takeover special tentatively scheduled for October 7th and more TV tapings on October 8th so Zayn could possibly return then.

What the heck, October?!

 

[Prince Bálor]

Sami Zayn also cut a promo at last night's tapings and called 2014 the best year of his career but said he will be out of action for the rest of 2015. Zayn promised to come back to win the NXT Title and get revenge on Owens, saying he will be back better than ever.

Damn.

We'll miss ya, Sami. Have a speedy recovery.

 

[The GOAT]

Whenever Zayn does make his return, he should do so by targeting Kevin Owens and eventually pulling off a huge victory over him by the skin of his teeth, whether it be for the NXT Championship (is it out of the question that Owens could hold onto it and keep defending it all the way into next year?) or for the United States Championship that Owens is about to take from John Cena. The latter is an excellent choice for me, as it would be an awesome way to debut Zayn onto the main roster. However, they'd have to find a good way to bring the casuals up to speed on why he and Owens have such bad blood in the first place since the vast majority of them don't watch NXT.
