Sami Zayn returned to WWE the night after WrestleMania and was able to unveil this new heel character where he showed that he had had enough of the WWE Universe and their excuses. Over the past few weeks, Zayn hasn't had to wrestle since the company has given him a mic and allowed him to deliver some interesting promos that show just how low Zayn is feeling at present.

This week on Raw, Zayn was attacked by Braun Strowman and after being chased into the backstage area he was thrown into a garbage bin and then emptied into the actual truck when it came along to empty the bin.

This obviously writes Sami Zayn off WWE TV for the foreseeable future, but why did WWE need to take The Underdog From The Underground off WWE TV right before the European Tour?

#4. WWE want to debut a new character

WWE has its own guidelines and when they decide that they want to introduce a new character they often "kill off" the old one. Of course not many superstars are put into the trash, that sort of thing is reserved for Eric Bischoff, but this could be WWE's way of allowing Zayn to come back as a new character since his current one has run its course.

What is Zayn's current character? He comes to the ring, complains about his life and then exits with some catchy end to the segment. It's now really a character and he doesn't seem as though he's someone who's interested in wrestling anymore so the company needs to change that up a little so that he can wrestle again.

Perhaps it's time to bring back El Generico since the WWE Universe is aware that it's Sami and it would allow him to enjoy wrestling under a mask once again.

#3. Braun Strowman and Sami Zayn can have a much more personal feud now

Zayn has hardly wrestled since his return and in order for him to step into a meaningful feud, WWE has obviously left the door open now for Sami Zayn to make his return and pick up a feud with The Monster Among Men, who also hasn't had a lot to do since WrestleMania.

Zayn could come back and want to fight Braun for what he did to him this week on Raw or he could continue to complain about the way he is treated and look for some kind of sympathy from the WWE Universe which obviously wouldn't happen but it could set up an interesting match between the two men for Extreme Rules, Dumpster matches have become a lost art form over the past few years.

#2. Brand switch?

Sami Zayn doesn't really need to be written off Raw to be able to go to SmackDown Live since there is now a Wild Card rule, but someone needs to mention the fact that Zayn no longer needs to be on Raw and Kevin Owens is fighting for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank.

Zayn was there to help Owens when he needed help last time against Shane McMahon so there's nothing really stopping him from helping him again since the two men are inseparable and Kofi Kingston will have The New Day in his corner so why can't Kevin Owens have Sami Zayn in his?

Owens has turned on Zayn so many times that it's more likely that he will cost Owens the title than help him win it at this point, but either way a move over to SmackDown Live would definitely allow Zayn to ignite his career.

#1. Sami Zayn needed to be written off TV because of Saudi Arabia

Sami Zayn has made it clear that he's from Montreal, Canada but what hasn't been made public information is the fact that Zayn is of Syrian descent which means that he can't actually head over to Saudi Arabia with WWE.

Over the past year, WWE has been able to write Zayn off WWE TV when Saudi Arabia shows are coming up because he can't be part of the event with last year seeing the star struggling with vertigo, before he was then on the injured list ahead of Crown Jewel.

This could be a way for WWE to write Zayn off WWE TV for the next month so that he can then make his return to WWE TV following the upcoming event on June 7th and open up an interesting feud with Braun Strowman.
