Sami Zayn’s WWE Contract Not Expiring This Fall

Following the news of Kevin Owen’s contract being restructured during the pandemic, social media began to speak on Sami Zayn’s contractual status with WWE.

Sami Zayn spoke with TVA Sports back in April of 2019, the Montreal based publication reported his contract was up in the fall of 2021.

“Zayn had signed a three-year contract shortly before leaving for his operations, so with sick time so often added to the length of the contract, he still has about two and a half years left on his current deal.”
