There has been a lot of talk and reports from the likes of Dave Meltzer and WRKD Wrestling about Sami Zayn’s title reign being a stopgap and ending almost instantly. Fightful Select also reported that the entire win caught people off guard, and not many expected it.
This author spoke to sources in WWE, and it seems that the expectation backstage is that the star is set to lose the title. The plans were for him to drop the championship before SummerSlam, and that was circulated among many stars and staff backstage.
However, the source noted that this was suspicious and believed it had been leaked the same way the false news of him losing the title match at Night of Champions had been leaked.
“Sami Zayn is expected to lose the title backstage. The plans were for him to drop it before SummerSlam, and that has been circulated backstage. It’s a bit suspicious that the message has been leaked the way it has about him losing the title, because his winning it was kept completely under wraps. It had been said that Cody Rhodes was going to win, but ultimately he did.”
Another source said the same, noting that Triple H and others may be spreading the word that Sami Zayn is going to lose, but the marketing team has not been given instructions about SummerSlam, which makes it feel like he may lose the title after all.
“It is possible that Hunter and others are spreading that he is going to lose it, but that’s not confirmed at all at this time. The only big fact is that he has not been put on the SummerSlam ads as the champion yet, and the directions have not gone out.”
Ultimately, there’s a lot of confusion about the situation, and though it seems like his title reign is about to end before SummerSlam, that may not happen either.
“It seems that there’s more to all this than meets the eye. Sami Zayn’s reign may be over before it begins, but it feels very much like another of those stories that WWE has been leaking to misdirect people.”
Should Zayn lose the title, it would be a huge boost to his heel run.
