Sami Zayn is making his presence felt on WWE SmackDown this Friday, November 14, despite still not being medically cleared for in-ring competition.

Zayn has been sidelined since the brutal attack by Solo Sikoa and The MFTs on the October 17 episode of SmackDown. Last week, he stormed the ring anyway in an emotionally charged attempt to get to Sikoa. Now, WWE has confirmed that Zayn will appear live in Albany, New York, to send a direct message to The Bloodline’s enforcer.

“Though not medically cleared last week, Sami Zayn still charged the ring in an attempt to finally get his hands on Solo Sikoa and The MFTs,” WWE stated. “Now, Zayn has a message for Sikoa. Find out what chaos is in store.”

This segment could have major implications as Survivor Series draws near, especially if Zayn continues to defy medical orders to confront The Bloodline.
