WWE concluded the Intercontinental Championship tournament last Friday on SmackDown. AJ Styles won the final round against Daniel Bryan. As the new Champion celebrates, Sami Zayn isn’t very happy about it.

After the win, AJ Styles naturally expressed how ecstatic he was feeling about winning the prestigious title. He vowed to make the title phenomenal.

This tweet was responded to by the former Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn. He wrote, “Watch your a**”. This reply speculates many questions about the return of Sami Zayn.

Why WWE stripped the title off of Sami Zayn

Zayn had to vacate the title because he was unable to participate in live sessions. WWE stripped him of the title and held the tournament to crown the new Champion. The tournament lasted across numerous SmackDown episodes

It also laid the foundation for the Sheamus vs Jeff hardy match. The final match gained a great response from the fans and critics alike.

Daniel Bryan had been gunning for a match against AJ Styles for quite some time. And when the match finally materialized both the fighters failed to disappoint, unsurprisingly.

After getting robbed of the title, Sami Zayn was vocal throughout the tournament on Twitter. He chose to stay at home and decided to take care of his health during this hard time. This may have left him vulnerable to relentless flak from fans and from within the WWE as well.

If Zayn does come back he will surely be given a shot at the Intercontinental Championship. However, the chances of him being the champ again seem rather bleak.

His decision to stay put over health concerns is fairly understandable. However, WWE always wants an active Champion in the roster.

With AJ as the current Champion, fans can expect some great matches in the coming days. The AJ vs Daniel Bryan feud is still far away from a finish. It is expected to continue for the next few shows of WWE.
