Below are some top WWE news stories of the day:
• On this week’s RAW, Drew McIntyre defeated Sami Zayn. McIntyre later assaulted Zayn in a backstage segment.
This was done to write Zayn off TV, as he has asked WWE for some time off and his request was granted.
Here’s what the Wrestling Observer reported:
“They were doing an injury angle with McIntyre and Zayn when McIntyre stomped on Zayn’s bad knee.
Zayn will be off for a while due to that. He had asked for time off recently and was granted it but wasn’t told when that would begin.
He was not scheduled for the 12/28 show in Laval, Quebec that would normally be built around him as that was during the scheduled break although it is possible they could have him do that show.”
• Vince McMahon had a longtime rule set in place in WWE that there will be no advertising on the ring mats.
However, with Nick Khan and Triple H now running WWE, that’s set to change.
Here’s what the Wrestling Observer reported:
“It was his religion. I think it was like a religion to Vince. You don’t advertise on the mats, you keep it clean. That’s no longer going to be the case.”
