6 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: Plans for WrestleMania 36 main event revealed, Drew McIntyre 'ends' former US Champion's in-ring career?

#1. Hope isn't true: Bad update on Sami Zayn's return to the ring

Sami Zayn has had an interesting 7-8 months since returning from his injury. He's hardly wrestled since and has taken up a managerial role.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed that Sami Zayn's shoulder is still bothering him, which is why he has spent so much time as Shinsuke Nakamura's (and now Cesaro's) manager.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

Zayn told VultureHound last November that his role as a manager isn't permanent and that it's just another chapter.

I don’t think this is a permanent thing by any means. I’m still a wrestler, and I think I’m pretty good at it (laughs). I don’t think it’s something I want to stop doing anytime soon. Our time in WWE is very long, and to me, this is just another chapter in this story because the story could go on for years and years. It’s a little break, and it’s a thing that I think people will hopefully remember when it’s all set and done, but it’s by no means permanent.

We hope this rumor isn't true because Zayn deserves to get back to where he was four years ago and prove that he can still be a top star.
