WWE will crown a new Intercontinental Champion this Friday on SmackDown. However, the former champion Sami Zayn is clearly not happy with it.

Zayn was sidelined due to his injury and had to vacate his title. The Superstar recently took to Twitter and had some pretty stiff words for his fellow workers. 

Sami Zayn is disappointed 

Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles will face each other in the final round of the Intercontinental Championship tournament on this week’s SmackDown.

Both the Superstars are big names when they face off, it surely will be worth the watch. One person who won’t enjoy the show is the former Champion himself.

Sami Zayn was stripped of the title by WWE. The official reason the company gave was that he was ‘unable to compete’. Sami Zayn had concerns performing during the current world pandemic.

When WWE took him off for the same, he was very saddened with the decision. Zayn wrote, “Two guys who will put on a match that will no doubt be a wrestling clinic, to prove once and for all just who is the bigger fraud.”

Calling them frauds was a bit of a haul. He has expressed his disappointment in his Tweets several times. Obviously, no one would be happy with their title being stripped off of them and now conducting a tournament to crown the champ isn’t pleasing to Zayn. He wasn’t beaten for the Championship and was only being concerned about his health. 

WWE could have let him stay as a champion until he returned. That would, however, mean that there wouldn’t be major matchups in that tier. So, on that front WWE’s decision is acceptable, at least to some section of the fans.

We are sure to see a new Champion this Friday. Both Styles and Bryan are great choices to be the next Intercontinental Champion, but it is hard to make the pick at the moment.

Whomsoever it may be, they stand a probable chance of defending the title to Sami Zayn when he does make his way back to the ring.
