Backstage Heat On Sami Zayn For Pulling Out Of Recent WWE Tapings

Sami Zayn reportedly has some heat on him for his recent decision to stay home and not work the WWE tapings during the coronavirus pandemic. His decision to sit out has not gone down well with WWE management which Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter outlined below: 

"They officially announced as IC title tournament on SmackDown. Even though nobody can say it publicly for obvious reasons, there is a lot of unhappiness that Zayn exercised the option that they gave everyone regarding not wrestling if you don’t want to right now."

Meltzer noted he knows of several other talent who are also not happy about working right now, but have decided to continue for fears of their job security, and this all before the recent WWE cutbacks.

WWE recently stripped Zayn of the Intercontinental Championship and the company has announced a tournament to crown a new champion which stats on SmackDown this week.
