Revealed if Sami Zayn is Really Seriously Injured
WWE announces Sami Zayn will be out indefinitely with severe nerve damage and spinal compression following Kevin Owens’s Package Piledriver attack on RAW.

WWE provided an update on Sami Zayn’s condition during Monday Night RAW, announcing that he suffered severe nerve damage and spinal compression following Kevin Owens’s Package Piledriver attack last week. The statement indicated that Zayn would be sidelined indefinitely.
The storyline injury stems from a backstage assault where Owens ambushed Zayn from behind, concluding with a devastating Package Piledriver.
This creative direction appears designed to temporarily remove Zayn from television programming while building tension for a potential future confrontation.
The injury angle sets up a compelling narrative thread leading into WrestleMania 41. Current storyline progression suggests Zayn’s eventual return could ignite an intensified rivalry with Owens, with their history adding depth to the developing feud.
