Sami Zayn Has A "Good Thing Going" In WWE, Doesn't Ever See Himself Leaving (WWE News)
Sami Zayn wants to stay in WWE, has a "good thing going" with the market leader
Sami Zayn has addressed speculation regarding his WWE contract, seemingly reaffirming his commitment to the company.
Per Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, Zayn stated that he typically keeps contract details private but emphasised that he doesn’t see himself leaving WWE anytime soon. He said, “I have a good thing going in WWE, and I wish to remain here." While specific contract terms weren’t disclosed, it is known that Zayn signed a multi-year deal in 2022.
Zayn has been one of WWE’s most celebrated performers in recent years, with his career reaching new heights during his storyline with The Bloodline, and the never-ending story alongside and against Kevin Owens.
His emotional confrontation with Roman Reigns at the 2023 Elimination Chamber in his hometown of Montreal was widely praised, further solidifying him as one of WWE’s top babyfaces, and the follow-up WrestleMania 39 main event alongside Owens against The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship marked another unlikely but significant milestone. His unlikely success in WWE extends beyond just marquee matches. Zayn's remained a lock for consistently delivering high-quality performances, perhaps best exemplified in polar opposite programmes against Johnny Knoxville and Gunther for WrestleMania 38 and 40 respectively.
That, over ten years after his debut, WWE have still managed to preserve an inevitable World Championship win keeps him with something major still to accomplish alongside all his other incredible achievements too.
With WWE’s ongoing financial success following its merger into TKO Group Holdings, Zayn’s decision to stay reflects a belief in the company’s direction. While WWE has faced criticism for employee morale issues, Zayn’s commitment to the organisation suggests his confidence in its long-term vision remains as high as its ever been.
He will be part of Elimination Chamber 2024 on March 1st, working a non-sanctioned match against Kevin Owens at Toronto's mammoth Rogers Centre.
