The backstage talk last month that Sami Zayn re-signed with the WWE is true. Fightful Select reported today that Zayn has signed a new contract with WWE and is locked down for several more years.
One source stated, “Zayn was kind of private about the negotiations, but WWE made it clear they wanted to retain his services.” It’s still unclear what the length of the deal is.
Zayn’s deal was set to expire in late 2021, but there hadn’t been any word until now on whether he signed a short-term extension or long-term deal. As of late, Zayn has been involved in a feud of late with Jackass star Johnny Knoxville ahead of the Men’s Royal Rumble Match.
Zayn has been with WWE since January 2013 and during that time, he has found a lot of success as he is a one-time NXT Champion and two-time Intercontinental Champion.
