WATCH: Sami Zayn Suffers Injury During Match, Drew McIntyre Makes It Much Worse

It might be a bit. There are all kinds of reasons for a wrestler to be written off of television, some of which can come with some benefits. One of the most common is due to an injury, though it could be either a legitimate issue or a storyline injury meant to move something forward. Now we have seen another WWE Superstar get injured, though that was not it for him on the night.

This week’s Monday Night Raw featured Drew McIntyre defeating Sami Zayn. During the match, Zayn suffered an ankle injury, which McIntyre exploited to pick up the win. Later in the show, McIntyre crushes Zayn’s ankle under an anvil case, resulting in Zayn needing medical attention. There is no word on if Zayn will be missing time from the ring, or if this is a legitimate or storyline injury.

It was a nasty night. Check out what went down between the two:

Opinion: It wouldn’t surprise me if this was a storyline injury, as Zayn wrestled a 20 minute match beforehand, which makes me think he can’t be that hurt. If he really is injured to the point where he needs time off, it’s very impressive for him to be able to have a match like that while being banged up. Either way, WWE got some heat on McIntyre for the whole thing and that is great to see.
