Report: WWE Higher-Ups Pushed For Sami Zayn Victory At Elimination Chamber

Some in WWE promoted Sami Zayn to dismiss Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at the current Elimination Chamber pay-per-view occasion.

At today’s occasion in Montreal, Zayn lost versus the Tribal Chief in the Canadian’s very first individually World Championship chance at a Premium Live Event.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that “higher-ups” promoted a title modification, however the concepts were shot down.

Discussing WrestleMania 39, which will see Reigns prevent Cody Rhodes, Meltzer stated,

“I understand what the strategy was since, even a week earlier, and it was Roman and Cody. It’s not Sami being included.”

It is thought that Zayn and Kevin Owens will challenge for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 39.
