According to reports, NXT superstar Sami Zayn is currently working as Adam Rose’s Bunny. As previously reported, The Bunny has been appearing on WWE television as more of a major character as of late, usually placing himself in some sort of physical altercation with Heath Slater or Titus O’Neil. While WWE’s long-term plan is to have Darren Young make his return under the furry mask, Zayn is currently the one at ringside.
Zayn has been on the road traveling with the main roster, as he and other NXT superstars such as Adrian Neville, Tyler Breeze, The Ascension, and Tyson Kidd have been working dark matches prior to “Monday Night Raw” and “Smackdown.” Since Zayn has been traveling with the roster, WWE Creative have simply had him work as The Bunny at least three times in the last two weeks.
According to fans in attendance for the “Smackdown” tapings on Sept. 19 claim The Bunny did an impressive move in the ring. Zayn is well known as one of the most talented and original in-ring workers currently signed by WWE.
Young is currently gearing up for an in-ring return after recovering from a debilitating knee injury. When he is ready to compete once again, WWE Creative wants him to be revealed as The Bunny and continue the feud he was locked into with his former tag team partner O’Neil prior to suffering his injury.
Until then, Zayn is likely to continue working as The Bunny, as it is of no extra cost to the company to have him work in the suit, and Zayn is extremely charismatic, which the company finds very appealing.
