Sami Zayn Reveals He's Dealing With Multiple Injuries

Sami Zayn has looked a little worse for wear on Monday Night Raw in recent weeks, with it having since been confirmed the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion is suffering from traumatic olecranon bursitis.

Zayn has been wrestling with the injury, taking on JD McDonagh on Monday's edition of Raw, but bursitis isn't the only issue Sami has been dealing with, having revealed on Out of Character with Ryan Satin that he has been suffering from multiple issues "for some time." 

"I've had a lot of issues, I guess for a while that you're just kind of battling through. It's funny, when I watch sports, like hockey players or whatever, especially in the playoffs, after the playoffs are done, hockey's particularly aggressive, the schedule's gruelling and everything like that. So once the playoffs are done, it'll be like, 'Oh, this guy was playing through a broken sternum and three broken fingers and a cracked tibia,' or whatever, all these insane injuries that they're playing through. But as a fan and as a viewer, I'm just watching, and I just assume everything's fine," Zayn said.

"But I've been battling a lot of little nagging injuries for some time, but nothing to the extent that would put me on the shelf. So [my elbow] is part of a nagging injury that's just kind of gotten a little bit worse after this past week's heinous attacks by JD McDonagh, for which there will be revenge. But yeah, there have been some little injuries, but knock on wood, thank god, I'm pretty healthy overall. You start to think about this stuff a little bit more as you get older, and you've been doing it for 21 years, and you're like, 'Oh, there's definitely not another 21 on the backside of this,'" he continued.

"So you're definitely closer to the end than the beginning. So maintaining your health and addressing those nagging injuries, I think that'll become more important. But I still managed to give you a long-winded answer to a very easy question. My elbow's alright, it'll be okay. It's not great, but it will be okay."

Zayn's tag team partner Kevin Owens is currently out of action, having initially continued working with a broken rib. Zayn and Owens have been Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions since defeating The Usos for the belts in the main event of WrestleMania 39 night one. 

While he hasn't been on TV in recent weeks, Kevin Owens has still been enjoying himself, recently showing off his tag team title belts to a colony of penguins.
