Sami Zayn was involved in an injury angle on RAW, and this was seemingly done to write Zayn off WWE TV.

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Zayn asked for time off, and this request was granted:

“It looked like they were doing an injury angle with McIntyre and Zayn when McIntyre stomped on Zayn’s bad knee. I don’t have it confirmed Zayn will be off for a while due to that, but do know that he had asked for time off recently and was granted it but wasn’t told when that would begin past he was not scheduled for 12/28 show in Laval, Quebec that would normally be built around him as that was during the scheduled break although it is possible they could have him do that show.”

We will keep you posted on when Zayn is expected to return to WWE TV.
