How did Sami Zayn bust himself open on WWE RAW this week? Likely reason explored
Sami Zayn was seen with a small cut near his right eye on the latest episode of WWE RAW. The Honorary Uce had come out to confront Drew McIntyre who was ranting against the OG Bloodline members. After the promo, fans on social media wondered how Zayn got that cut.
Since tonight's edition of RAW was taped last week, the segment was probably shot after Zayn's backstage fight with Drew McIntyre. The Honorary Uce probably got that cut during that fight and later shot for tonight's episode with McIntyre.
The former Intercontinental Champion had another match against Drew McIntyre in the main event of the show. Even though Jey Uso had returned and wanted to step up for Zayn against McIntyre, The Honorary Uce persisted that he would compete against The Scottish Warrior.
However, he lost the bout to The Scottish Warrior for the second time in a row in December this year. McIntyre even tried to bust open Zayn after defeating him but Jey Uso arrived on time to save his Bloodline mate from the assault.
However, Jey too was overpowered as Solo's Bloodline arrived out of nowhere. The trio of Solo, Jacob, and Tama Tonga annihilated Zayn and Jey Uso. McIntyre on the other hand, looked at Solo but escaped out of the ring with a smile on his face.
He had a heated exchange with Solo on SmackDown last week. It appeared that despite the enmity between them, Solo and Drew McIntyre will keep aside their differences for some time, while they are dealing with Roman Reigns and OG Bloodline members.
Sami Zayn lost his 10th match against Drew McIntyre in WWE
While the Canadian wrestler is one of the best in-ring performers, his dismal record against Drew McIntyre works as a blot in his WWE career. Tonight's loss became the 10th consecutive time Zayn has lost to The Scottish Warrior with two back-to-back losses in December.
After the match, RAW commentator Joe Tessitore reminded the WWE fans about Zayn's poor record against McIntyre. Zayn has lost three matches to McIntyre in this calendar year.
He even tried to compete despite his fitness issues to break this streak and register at least one win against The Scottish Warrior. However, the former Intercontinental Champion had to bite the dust in this match also.
However, there might be more matches coming between them as the saga seems far from over. It remains to be seen when Sami Zayn will get another shot against Drew McIntyre.
