Sami Zayn is out indefinitely with ‘spinal compression’ and ‘extreme nerve damage’

Kevin Owens attacked his best friend Sami Zayn at the end of this week’s (Feb. 3) Raw and tried to seriously injure him with a package piledriver. Owens later said he will never forgive his “horrible friend” for standing by and doing nothing as Cody Rhodes tried to end his career at the end of their WWE championship ladder match Royal Rumble.

On tonight’s (Feb. 7) episode of SmackDown, commentator Joe Tessitore gave an update on Sami’s condition following KO’s brutal attack. He said Sami is out indefinitely after suffering “spinal compression” and “extreme nerve damage.”

Based on Kevin’s car promo, it sounds like he wants to do even more damage to his former best friend, who he now considers a “disgusting human being.”

When will Sami recover from his injuries and be able to return to WWE? Well, WrestleMania 41 happens to be coming up in mid-April in Las Vegas, conveniently enough.
