7 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Raw (Dec 9)
5. Another Loophole
Remember way back in October when WWE had its big draft, which was going to lead to ironclad, separate rosters with wrestlers on different networks and unable to crossover?
Yeah, neither does WWE.
Sami Zayn exploited a “loophole” Monday night, showing up after getting his “managerial license,” which apparently allows him to appear on Raw as well as SmackDown. Zayn showed up to confront Kevin Owens for slapping Mojo Rawley backstage during the show, which means that Sami either was backstage already and suddenly decided to get involved, or he raced to the arena after seeing the slap to broker an apology.
Regardless, this was just another loophole to get around WWE’s own rules to allow someone from one program to appear on another. Way to keep those separate rosters, guys.
