Elimination Chamber is set to take place this Saturday, promising a night of blockbuster matches. One of the most highly anticipated bouts will see former best friends turned bitter rivals, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, clash in a heated showdown. Before the match, The Underdog from the Underground discussed his WWE future and contract status.
Speaking with Fightful, The Honorary Uce reflected on his incredible ten-year journey in WWE, expressing how much he enjoys his time in the Stamford-based promotion. While keeping his contract status private, he confirmed that he has no plans to leave Titanland anytime soon. With this, Zayn has all but solidified the possibility of spending another decade in WWE.
I’m usually kind of private about that stuff. I don’t think I’m going anywhere. I’ve got a good thing going here and I see it continuing for the foreseeable future.

Further details about Zayn’s WWE contract are expected to emerge in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the 40-year-old is gearing up for a highly personal Unsanctioned Match against Kevin Owens in Toronto, Canada. The showdown is already being regarded as one of the most emotionally charged battles in WWE history.
A few weeks ago on Raw, Owens brutally attacked Sami Zayn with a Package Piledriver, resulting in a diagnosed spinal compression for the former Intercontinental Champion. Due to Zayn’s condition, Raw GM Adam Pearce was initially reluctant to sanction the match. With high stakes and personal animosity at play, the situation will unfold in an unpredictable manner.
Sami Zayn discussed about his relationship with the WWE creative
Sami Zayn, a seasoned veteran with over two decades of wrestling experience, possesses a remarkable creative vision within the industry. Recently, The Honorary Uce discussed how he applies this vision in WWE, and offered insight into his relationship with the company’s creative team.
Speaking with Flamesnation, Zayn revealed that WWE values his creative input and industry knowledge. While the creative team doesn’t always fully incorporate his ideas, they listen and often try to integrate them into the storyline. However, the Canadian star clarified that he cannot reject WWE’s vision and always respects and follows his assignments.
Last couple of years under Triple H, but even a little bit prior to that, just with my relationship with the creative team to where just my voice feels heard.
