A few weeks ago Sami Zayn faced off against CM Punk in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on Raw. CM Punk ended up defeating Sami Zayn to qualify for the Elimination Chamber, and Punk shook hands with Sami after it was all said and done.
It seemed that Raw was just about to wrap up, but Kevin Owens appeared out of nowhere and hit Sami with a package piledriver as the show went off the air.
After remaining quiet for a few weeks, Sami finally broke his silence and addressed the situation with Kevin Owens. The former Intercontinental Champion posted a video update on his status, and he declared that he will be coming after Kevin Owens once he returns.
“So I have not been doing great. I know people have been waiting for an update, and I apologise for not getting one out sooner. I’m sure most of you have heard by now that my neck isn’t doing too well, there’s been some nerve damage, and I’m seeing specialists.
“I think the last couple of weeks have been particularly tough just trying to come to terms with everything that’s happened here with Kevin and myself. It’s almost become a joke how many times Kevin has turned on me, maybe I’ve turned on him, whatever it is, it almost seems like an inevitability in our relationship. But this one was different. I know that, and Kevin I know you know that, we both know exactly what you were trying to do with the Package Piledriver.
“That wasn’t about trying to get ahead, or sending a message, that was trying to end my career. And for what, that’s what I keep struggling with, over what? Over a wrestling match, over me not helping you win a wrestling match? You didn’t see me sprinting out there with tears in my eyes checking on you as you laid their motionless, bleeding. Me screaming at the doctors ‘is he okay? Is he going to be okay? Get him some help!’ To me that’s what I thought being there for someone is. For you it’s, I should have pushed Cody Rhodes off a ladder, and helped you cheat to win a match, so I guess we just look at things differently there.”
“The long and short of it is, I don’t know when I’ll be cleared, but when I am, Kevin, me and you are gonna go again, and I’m telling you now, it’s not going to be fun. I’ll see you soon.”
