Former WWE Champion Out Indefinitely Due to Elimination Chamber Injury
WWE announced on Monday’s RAW broadcast that Sami Zayn is out of action indefinitely after Kevin Owens reaggravated his injury during their brutal match at Elimination Chamber.
WWE provided a significant update on Sami Zayn’s status during the March 3 episode of RAW. Michael Cole confirmed that Zayn is out of action indefinitely following the damage inflicted by Kevin Owens at Elimination Chamber.
The announcement came as WWE addressed several post-Elimination Chamber developments, with Zayn’s condition being among the most concerning updates shared during the broadcast.
The brutal match between Owens and Zayn at the premium live event resulted in Owens emerging victorious, but the physical toll on Zayn proved severe. Cole specifically noted that the attack from Owens had reaggravated a pre-existing condition.
No timeline for Zayn’s return was provided during the announcement, suggesting his recovery period could be substantial. This absence comes at a critical time as WWE continues building toward WrestleMania.
The history between Owens and Zayn adds significant context to this development, as their longtime friendship-turned-rivalry has repeatedly led to intense physical confrontations over the years.
Zayn’s absence creates uncertainty around his WrestleMania involvement, though his unexpected return remains possible.
