Sami Zayn hasn’t appeared on Smackdown over the past three weeks. It has been reported that Zayn has pulled himself from WWE television due to the coronavirus pandemic.
We have an update to pass your way about Sami and the Intercontinental Title.
According to a report from John Pollock of POST Wrestling, WWE will be addressing the status of the Intercontinental Title on Smackdown this week.
This seems like a hint that WWE could be planning to strip Sami of his belt. Here is what Pollock wrote:
We have also been told that the status of the Intercontinental championship will be addressed this week. The current champion Sami Zayn has not been present at recent shows at the WWE Performance Center.
Zayn won the Intercontinental title on March 8th at the Elimination Chamber show in a 3-on-1 handicap match pinning champion Braun Strowman. Zayn last appeared at the WrestleMania 36 tapings where he defended the title against Daniel Bryan on the first night that aired April 4th and was taped the week prior.
We will let you know if we hear anything more.
