Sami Zayn comes to SmackDown on Wheel Chair (WWE)
WWE Superstar Sami Zayn signs new multi-year contract deal with the company
Former Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn has recently signed a new multi-year contract with WWE, as confirmed by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select.
These reports of Zayn sticking with the company was first discussed last month via the Wrestling Observer as his original deal was set to be expired before the start of 2022.
Zayn has recently had encounters with Logan Paul and Johnny Knoxville, along with a pair of Intercontinental Championship reigns. In fact, he had recently had a significant break when he became the No.1 contender to Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship.
It is to be noted that Zayn’s initial signing reports were confirmed when his longtime best friend Kevin Owens also signed a new deal with the company.
Owens recently appeared in an interview with TVA Sports, where he explained why he chose to stay with the company.
“The decision was pretty easy because it really was the best thing for my family. When it comes to that, it’s always a pretty easy decision. WWE has been my home for seven years, so I have a sense of belonging,” Owens said (translated from French). “Basically, I spent most of my career there. When you look at all the wrestling companies I’ve wrestled in, in WWE, that’s where I’ve been the longest, where I need to be for the next few years. That’s how I felt, and that’s the decision I made.” (h/t Comicbook)
However, Zayn and Owens will compete in this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble match.
