Bischoff couldn’t help but find humor in fan speculation that WWE deliberately kept Zayn off live TV, and he openly agreed with them. According to Bischoff, Zayn’s absence might be a strategic move by WWE to afford him time to recover following his recent match against Roman Reigns.
“It’s interesting that WWE has taken him off live TV for a while so that fans can completely forget about him. During this time, they can start a storyline between him and The Bloodline at the right time,” Bischoff remarked.
He emphasized the significance of timing in wrestling narratives, suggesting that a well-timed return could lead to a compelling storyline, potentially involving The Bloodline.

Bischoff continued, “If Sammy doesn’t become a part of a storyline before WrestleMania, I don’t care. Wouldn’t be a surprise. Maybe I’m right, and maybe I’m just guessing that WWE has taken him away from live TV knowing there’s a good reason for it. I think they’ll be rewarded.”
In a recent update from Wrestling Observer Radio, it was revealed that Sami Zayn has requested time off from WWE. Reportedly, he aims to use this break to address a knee injury. The intriguing question now is when Zayn will make his return to the company and what surprises may await the WWE Universe upon his comeback.
