WWE viewers last saw Sami Zayn losing to Bobby Lashley at Money In The Bank this past June. After that six-minute snore, he disappeared to have surgery on both his shoulders, and he's only recently been primed for a return to action. To prepare for the comeback, Zayn appeared on Chris Jericho's podcast.

There, he told how he'd planned to make regular video posts for fans detailing his road to recovery. If you're wondering why they never surfaced, it's because Sami got cold feet on the idea just six seconds in. Yep, he felt absolutely silly sitting in front of a webcam and talking about himself, so he scrapped the vlogging for good.

It didn't help that Zayn was still in hospital when he tried out the YouTube gimmick.

Maybe he was self-conscious or a bit too depressed with his situation to bother with trying to look chipper. Whatever the case, Sami gave up on shooting the second coming of Randy Orton's 'Randy News Network' and concentrated on rehab instead.
