Sami Zayn didn’t show up to SmackDown so WWE took his title away. This obviously didn’t sit well with him.
Zayn fired off a tweet on the morning after WWE announced that he is no longer Intercontinental Champion. Sami Zayn doesn’t care and still considers himself an undefeated champion.
I disagree with this decision and no matter what anyone says, I am still undefeated and therefore still the Intercontinental Champion. -SZ
Ringside News exclusively reported that Zayn won’t be back for while. We also reported that WWE will be handling the IC Title situation. Obviously, they stripped him of that title and now a tournament will start on Friday Night SmackDown this week to crown a new champion.
Sami Zayn isn’t happy about this situation at all. It might be a bit of a shoot because he’s developed backstage reputation.
