Sami Zayn clarifies situation about picture seemingly celebrating Bloodline member being stripped of a WWE title

WWE Superstar Sami Zayn recently clarified a tweet he posted earlier that seemingly indicated him celebrating Solo Sikoa being stripped of the NXT North American Title.

Tonight's episode of NXT started with Shawn Michaels informing Solo Sikoa that he had to relinquish the NXT North American Title as his win last week was unsanctioned. After Sikoa vacated the title to the WWE Hall of Famer, the latter revealed that there will be a ladder match at NXT Halloween Havoc to determine the new North American Champion.

Following the segment, the former Intercontinental Champion updated his profile picture on Twitter, smiling ear-to-ear. He also sent out a tweet with the #NewProfilePicture hashtag.

The Honorary Uce then immediately clarified in a follow-up tweet that the pic had nothing to do with his Bloodline stablemate losing his title. He added it was just "bad timing."

"I’ve just been informed about Solo Sikoa relinquishing the NXT North American Title. The jovial expression in my delightful #NewProfilePic has nothing to do with this news, it’s simply bad timing. Just got off the phone with my dawg & he’s doing well. Bigger, better things ahead!" Zayn wrote.
