Sami Zayn backstage affair rumors WWE have been fueled after former WWE writer Vince Russo made controversial comments regarding Zayn’s recent booking. The speculation centers on events following Zayn’s match at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, where his storyline took an unexpected turn.
Recent Events in the Ring Lead to Scrutiny
At the recent Night of Champions event in Saudi Arabia, Sami Zayn faced Karrion Kross and managed to secure a victory in singles competition. However, the rivalry persisted, with Kross staging an attack backstage during a subsequent episode of RAW. Kross targeted Zayn’s ribs with a steel rod, leaving Zayn injured leading into the main event. Despite the injury and his ribs being taped, Zayn teamed with Penta but ultimately lost to Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker.
Controversial Podcast Remarks Trigger Speculation
While discussing the segment on his podcast, “The Brand,” Vince Russo questioned the decision to have Sami Zayn “protected” in defeat, pointing to the use of the taped ribs as a storytelling device. Russo did not hide his suspicion regarding the special treatment Zayn appeared to receive backstage, bluntly suggesting there might be more going on behind the scenes.
“I swear to god, I am not kidding you. I think Sami Zayn may be having some type of affair with some of the writers, or something there. The fact that they feel they have to protect Sami Zayn with taped ribs. A Bron Breakker spear could not beat Sami unless his ribs were taped. I swear to god, bro, it’s like, all of this is nonsense.” —Vince Russo, Former WWE Writer
Ongoing Discussion and Possible Impact
The speculation and critique from Vince Russo have intensified discussions among WWE fans and insiders about backstage dynamics and the reasoning behind Zayn’s recent booking. The mention of notable figures such as Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Karrion Kross, and the involvement of key WWE writers have put a spotlight on how decisions are being made for talent like Sami Zayn.
