Sami Zayn Storyline Update Following Brutal Attack by Kevin Owens on WWE RAW

The February 3, 2025, edition of WWE RAW concluded with a shocking moment as Kevin Owens delivered a package piledriver to Sami Zayn, leaving fans concerned about Zayn’s condition. In a video posted to his Twitter/X account, Sami Zayn provided an update on his health:

“So I have not been doing great. I know people have been waiting for an update, and I apologize for not getting one out sooner, but I’m sure most of you have heard by now that my neck is not doing too well. There’s been some nerve damage, and I’m seeing specialists and this and that. But 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. Because, yeah, it’s almost become a joke how many times Kevin has turned on me, or maybe I’ve turned on him, or whatever it is. It almost seems like an inevitability of 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. Because 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? [Cody Rhodes vs. Owens at the Royal Rumble] You didn’t see me sprinting out there with tears in my eyes, checking on you?”

“You lay there motionless, bleeding? Me screaming at the doctors, ‘Is he okay? Is he going to be okay? Get him some help.’ Because to me, that’s being there for someone. That’s what I thought being there for someone is. For you, I should have pushed Cody Rhodes off the ladder and helped you cheat to win a match. I guess we just look at things differently there. But look, 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 going to go again. I’m now, it’s not going to be fun. I’ll see you soon.”

Later on in the show, Owens issued a video response and challenged Zayn to fight him at the Elimination Chamber PLE in Toronto, Ontario.
