At Elimination Chamber, two best friends-turned-belligerents duked it out in an unsanctioned match in Toronto. They were none other than Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. These compatriots displayed unmatched levels of brutality, with The Prizefighter eventually getting the better of his foe. The latter is expected to be sidelined indefinitely, as announced by Michael Cole on Raw.

Amid Zayn’s ongoing WWE hiatus, he had the honor to dine with Kieran Culkin and his wife, Jazz Charton. The ex-Bloodline member took to X and posted several pictures with the Oscar-winning actor. Zayn himself was with his better half, Khadija. Each one of them also posed with the chefs and other staff of the potential restaurant they dined in. Sami captioned his hangout with the Culkins as “Fine company, fine food.”

By the looks of it, the erstwhile El Generico is doing fine. He doesn’t appear to be in any sort of physical discomfort from Elimination Chamber. That being said, there’s no timeline on the 40-year-old’s WWE return. Consequently, he might sit out of WrestleMania 41 with no formidable story to sail him through at the moment.

For a while, Karrion Kross tried dislodging Sami’s mental state, with many believing that they’re on the cusp of feuding. In hindsight, those segments were put together to give Kross’ psychological gimmick a bit more exposure and nothing more. But as always, there would always be a slight chance of WWE resisting those interactions Zayn had with Kross.

Kieran Culkin made a WWE appearance on Raw

Back in January, WWE debuted on Netflix. It marked the beginning of a ten-year agreement with the OTT giant to stream its flagship show, Raw. The deal was agreed upon at $5 billion. To accentuate the grand occasion, the company booked the state-of-the-art Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and roped in a ton of celebrities too.

Kieran Culkin was sitting in the front row, and he got to meet CM Punk. The latter turned his attention to the Succession star after scraping through Seth Rollins. Culkin said he’s a massive fan of Punk, who inquired about Kieran’s Best Supporting Actor award that he won at the Golden Globes 2025 a night before.

Both Punk and Culkin seemed jubilant to have shared that moment. A Real Pain actor’s brother, Macaulay Culkin, has also made a couple of WWE appearances already this year. The 44-year-old was at Raw’s Netflix premiere. Most recently, he was seen attending the red brand’s Madison Square Garden taping in New York.

The crowd popped big for his reveal, indicating his burgeoning appeal.The Hollywood crossovers in WWE are only going to see an uptick. A number of fans have complained about it getting repetitive and something that takes the time and spotlight away from the wrestlers.

Will Sami Zayn miss out on WrestleMania 41 entirely?

As alluded to above, Sami Zayn is in jeopardy of not making the cut for WrestleMania 41. It’d be a major blow to his fans, especially after his key involvement in its last two editions. One could even argue that the past couple of years have catapulted him into superstardom.

At WrestleMania 39, Zayn took on The Usos for the then-undisputed tag team titles with Owens by his side. They had just gotten back on the same page after months of emotional train wreck stemming from Sami’s Bloodline ouster at Royal Rumble 2023.

At the pop-culture extravaganza in Inglewood, the duo of Zayn and Owens overcame Jimmy and Jey. It ended their 622-day title reign. A year later, Zayn pulled off one of the biggest upsets in WrestleMania history when he dethroned Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship. The Ring General hadn’t been pinned on the main roster up until that point.
