According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Sami Zayn is not actually injured despite WWE’s announcement that he would be out indefinitely. The report confirms that the injury angle from Elimination Chamber is purely storyline, designed to generate audience reaction toward Kevin Owens.
The report notes that this injury angle was not created to give Zayn time away from WWE programming. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter indicates that Zayn could return to action at any point, as the “indefinite” hiatus is part of the ongoing narrative.
WWE previously announced that Zayn would be sidelined indefinitely after an incident with Owens at Elimination Chamber where his neck was apparently injured. This announcement created the impression that Zayn might miss WrestleMania.
Despite WWE suggesting Zayn will be out for an extended period, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that he could still become involved in the planned Kevin Owens versus Randy Orton match at WrestleMania. The report mentions that Zayn might specifically impact the conclusion of this contest.
The rivalry between Owens and Zayn continues to develop through this storyline injury angle, building toward potential WrestleMania involvement. This approach provides additional narrative dimension to the ongoing Owens-Orton program.
