Sami Zayn will be removed from the Royal Rumble due to injury. surprise name to replace him? Investigating the possibility

Sami Zayn made his Royal Rumble 2025 entry official during this week’s WWE RAW. The OG Bloodline member also put everyone on notice, including Roman Reigns, and claimed that he would win the match as he now wants the world title. Soon, Kevin Owens interrupted and cheered Sami on saying how they will remain best friends forever as Sami is a forgiving person.

Meanwhile, during their conversation, KO created a scenario where Zayn would help him during the Ladder Match vs. Near Rhodes at Royal Rumble 2025 if necessary. Likewise, if Sami needed help in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match, the self-proclaimed Winged Eagle Champion would be there to support him as he wanted Sami to win.

However, if Honorary Uce doesn’t accompany or help KO defeat The American Nightmare at the Rumble, fans could see Owens take out his frustrations with Sami Zayn. In a possible scenario, Kevin Owens may face the OG Bloodline member backstage after the potential loss to Rhodes. Here, she could argue with Sami to disappoint him despite their bond as best friends. Frustrated, KO could unleash a beatdown on Sami and knock him out completely, rendering him unable to participate in the rope battle.

This incident could lead to Prize Fighter stepping up as Sami’s replacement and entering the match himself. An angle like this would be a great way to further the ongoing storyline between KO and the OG Bloodline member. It could eventually grow into a big one WrestleMania 41 story, with Sami Zayn returning after a few weeks to avenge the attack.

A match between KO and Sami would undoubtedly be a great addition to The Showcase of the Immortals card this year. It remains to be seen how things will play out at Royal Rumble 2025 and whether Zayn and Owens will have each other’s backs at the upcoming PLE.

Why did Kevin Owens forgive Sami Zayn for helping Roman Reigns but not Cody Rhodes?

In this whole conversation between Sami and KO, the Prize Fighter as well show up the reason he forgave Sami for helping Roman Reigns, but not Cody Rhodes. The 40-year-old star explained that Sami has a past association with OTC.

Zayn forgave OTC for his actions, as he had forgiven Kevin Owens for his past actions, and reunited with him. This is why, in a way, Sami Zayn’s actions are justified for Owens and the Prize Fighter didn’t attack him the same way he did with The American Nightmare.

KO also explained that Cody didn’t have a positive track record with Reigns, which should have made him less willing to help the Clan Leader. This is why Owens opposes Rhodes but not his friend Sami Zayn.
