The immediate future of the WWE Unified Tag Team Championships has been one of the most rumored topics among fans since it Kevin Owens He was sidelined after being attacked by Judgment Day on the July 24 episode of Monday Night Raw.

The attack (in kaybafe) allowed the company to separate the Canadian from the action, since had been legitimately injured before that night (rumored broken rib). Since then, his partner sami zayn he continued to appear in the solo show as his feud with The Judgment Day continued.

However, in the latest episode of the Red Mark, the same story repeated itself. Sami was attacked backstage by JD McDonagh which prevented him from competing that night, which again raised alarm bells among the fans.

Meanwhile, Dave Meltzer, journalist for Wrestling Observerprovided more information in this regard, noting that Zayn has a swollen elbow due to a suspected bursal infection (bursitis)that’s why WWE decided to tape the segment of McDonagh’s attack to justify the Canadian’s non-competition.

“Zayn’s elbow is swollen like a golf ball. That’s why they did the segment on Raw where Judgment Day attacked him. The lesion that would cause it would be bursitis or infection of the bursal sac. Owens is also injured but was granted time off to let his broken rib heal. The plan was not to take the titles in pairsMeltzer wrote.

Based on this information and taking into account that bursitis can go away in one to two weeks, it’s highly likely that Sami Zayn will continue to appear on Red Label shows, at least in the backstage segments, to continue his rivalry with The Judgment Day while awaiting Owens’ return once he recovers. In his case, his recovery would take about two months, so WWE Payback could be lost.
