He also had a good storyline with his long time on screen Rival Kevin Owens. At WrestleMania 37 he faced the former WWE Universal champion in a one on one match, which by the way he lost. He continued the feud for quite a while and he also had an inconsistent feud for the WWE intercontinental championship. After that he took a leave of around one month.
He made his return to WWE just last week on Friday night Smackdown and he was instantly booked in a match against Dominik Mysterio. His returned was quite successful as he defeated Dominik Mysterio. The match was quite good and it was a clean victory for him. It is rumoured that he would be feuding for the WWE intercontinental championship next.
WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn who is a former WWE NXT champion recently gave a post match interview where he talked about his absence from the WWE recently and he also said that he was not allowed to reveal why he was absent from WWE for over a month. He said;
last four weeks I haven’t been around; you could have reached out to me? But nobody did. I didn’t get a text, I didn’t get a call. Nobody even thought to ask, ‘where is Sami?’
“Where is one of the greatest performers of our time? Where is he these days? Nobody thought to ask. But now that I’m back, everyone is acting like they care. I’m not even allowed to talk about where I’ve been – but trust me, in due time, you’re going to find out where I was and what I was up to. And trust me, it’s going be juicy.”
“I didn’t even get asked to be on TV for the last four weeks, and yet they had time for Dominik Mysterio to go out there tonight and basically have open ring time? Why is that? I am a generational talent, and they didn’t even ask me to come out tonight. Anytime, Dominik or his daddy want a reality check, to remind them that nobody is on my level, I’d be glad to do it.”
