Sami Zayn discusses the injury that he has been carrying regarding his elbow.
Zayn, who is carrying the elbow injury, defeated JD McDonagh at the beginning of Monday’s RAW in a gutsy performance from one half of the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions.
Speaking on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, Zayn was asked about his elbow and the champion would provide an update on the injury.
“I’ve had a lot of issues, I guess for a while that you’re just kind of battling through. It’s funny, when I watch sports, like hockey players or whatever, especially in the playoffs, after the playoffs are done, hockey’s particularly aggressive, the schedule’s grueling and everything like that. So once the playoffs are done, it’ll be like, ‘Oh, this guy was playing through a broken sternum and three broken fingers and a cracked tibia,’ or whatever, all these insane injuries that they’re playing through. But as a fan and as a viewer, I’m just watching, and I just assume everything’s fine. But I’ve been battling a lot of little nagging injuries for some time, but nothing to the extent that would put me on the shelf. So [my elbow] is part of a nagging injury that’s just kind of gotten a little bit worse after this past week’s heinous attacks by JD McDonagh, for which there will be revenge. But yeah, there have been some little injuries, but knock on wood, thank god, I’m pretty healthy overall. You start to think about this stuff a little bit more as you get older, and you’ve been doing it for 21 years, and you’re like, ‘Oh, there’s definitely not another 21 on the backside of this.’ So you’re definitely closer to the end than the beginning. So maintaining your health and addressing those nagging injuries, I think that’ll become more important. But I still managed to give you a long-winded answer to a very easy question. My elbow’s alright, it’ll be okay. It’s not great, but it will be okay,”

Zayn’s partner Kevin Owens is also dealing with a rib injury that has ruled him out of action for the foreseeable future.
We will have to wait and see if Sami will take some time off to nurse the injury or if he will continue to compete in singles competition until Owens is ready to return to the ring.
