WWE drops major Sami Zayn tease ahead of RAW
The Season Premiere of WWE RAW is set to kick off in less than two hours. Sami Zayn recently returned with a new championship goal, but he has not been announced for tonight's show. However, the company has just dropped a curious teaser on the veteran superstar.
The Great Liberator dropped the Intercontinental Championship to Bron Breakker at SummerSlam on August 3, then two week's later he lost the 2-out-of-3 Falls rematch. After taking a few weeks off, Zayn returned to RAW last week to confront the man he won the IC Title from at WrestleMania XL: Gunther. The former El Generico warned that he plans to now dethrone The Ring General of the World Heavyweight Championship.
WWE has touted Zayn's arrival at tonight's RAW Season Premiere in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. There's a curious focus on how the 22-year industry veteran is "ready for a special night" on RAW. In the Instagram video below, Sami mentions Bret Hart's hometown return, leading to speculation on a potential segment with Sami, Gunther, and The Hitman.
"@samizayn is ready for a big night on the Season Premiere of #WWERaw!" reads the caption on the video below.
After the loss to Breakker on August 12, Zayn defeated Santos Escobar in a SmackDown dark match, then beat Ludwig Kaiser at two non-televised live events on the weekend of August 18. He returned to the ring this past Friday, losing a Street Fight to Breakker after blue brand's show in Edmonton.
