Thus why they are crowning a new champion. No they are crowning an interim champion. And then when he returns, I'm sure they'll have a match to determine the champion. Again... with no idea when Sami will return, it's hard to book anything around him.

Sami chose not to wrestle, Devlin didn't. I thought wrestlers weren't supposed to be punished if they wanted to sit out right now though? Punished 😂 You know wrestling is fake, right?

You do know that there is a hard established "next man up" philosophy to encourage wrestlers to "make their shots" or risk losing their spot? That success in the wrestling industry has been solely dependent on how the management structure chooses to utilize a person, not that individual's talent? That a talent's position, push, titles, promotion, schedule, pay, essentially everything relies on how the higher-ups view you?

I am glad they took the title off of Sami Zayn, he was kind of a cold champion and I heard that he was difficult to deal with back in Ring of Honor and I read somewhere (true or not) that he has heat or rubs people the wrong way. Who ever wins the tournament should defend the title every other week on TV.

Bonus points if you can tie it into some punishments for Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens and Kyle O’Reilly too.

He was allowed to hold the title when he was working during the pandemic, but was stripped of the title when he abruptly chose not to. Any other circumstances can't be scrutinized until after he is back. Owens is reportedly dealing with an ankle injury, making his choice a little easier and perhaps his situation a tad more understandable. And again, nothing can be drawn until he is back. And since you brought up Roman, I am on record saying I believe Reigns is under no pressure. As if Zayn is even seen in the same light as the "top guy" of the company lmao

So his 😂PUNISHMENT😂 is that the pretend championship his character had is going to be back on the TV show with different characters fighting for it... Hmm, so by your logic, Braun Strowman winning the Universal title was a PUNISHMENT for Roman Reigns too lol.

Two completely different scenarios involving completely different individuals under completely different circumstances you conflated as the same deal. But I agree, there are more serious PUNISHMENTS out there, like entering a debate with you lmao

IMO punishment/unhappiness is a separate issue from the IC Title. Even if they're as happy as can be with him, the title should be vacated. The show must go on, and if he's choosing not to be part of it then there should be an understanding that losing the title is a very likely possibility. If Roman Reigns won the Universal Title at WrestleMania, and then decided to step away, they'd have vacated that as well. Happy/unhappy with him or not, and their top guy.

We all know that Roman Reigns had leukemia, Kevin Owens ed up his ankle but came back recently, and Kyle O'Reilly has type 1 diabetes (I am a diabetic too). Sami Zayn didn' want to risk it and Fox told WWE we need the Intercontinental Title back on television since the Universal Champion(ship) has to be on the show or being defended.

Looking forward to Bryan/Styles.
This one could go either way honestly and that is refreshing.
