He already underwent surgery on his right shoulder and when that recovers he will have surgery on his left shoulder. He told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/article\/sami-zayn-injury-interview\">WWE.com<\/a> the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I guess people don\u2019t know about this injury; I\u2019ve been working with it for some time. I don\u2019t know exactly when I tore it. Ithink\u00a0I tore it, or initially injured it, on a Montreal Live Event. Which is ironic because I injured my left shoulder \u2014 now somewhat famously \u2014 in Montreal in my [Raw]\u00a0debut against John Cena. And at a Live Event this past August wrestling\u00a0Jinder Mahal, I think I injured it then.<\/p>\n<p>But then my<em>\u00a0left<\/em>\u00a0shoulder, a.k.a my bad shoulder, started to act up again as well. That shoulder hasn\u2019t quite been the same since surgery anyway, so I had just kind of gotten used to the fact that that shoulder was the bad one. But it started to get progressively worse, so basically, long story short, it turns out I have two torn rotator cuffs. The left one and the right one are both torn. I just underwent surgery on the right one, and then in about six or seven weeks, I\u2019ll be undergoing surgery on the left one, and hopefully I can come back healthy and happy&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Because of the timeline, I\u2019d love to be in the mix for WrestleMania season; that\u2019s the most exciting time of the year for all of us. I think timeline wise, I should be ready in time for WrestleMania, so fingers crossed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also said the timing isn&#8217;t great because he felt like he was hitting his stride as a character lately. He&#8217;s been playing an abrasive obnoxious heel, a sharp contrast to his character in NXT and early in his main roster WWE run. &#8220;There\u2019s never a good time to get hurt or get surgeries, but I do feel like I was starting to hit my stride and find my voice and find myself as a performer,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Which is funny, because 16 years in, it\u2019s like I\u2019m rediscovering the art of it in a sense, because I\u2019m doing something I\u2019ve never really done before. So, how I come back, when I come back, that all remains to be seen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS RECENT UPDATE:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/06\/24\/radican-interview-with-juice-robinson-talks-future-goals-in-wrestling-promos-and-selling-what-kind-of-crowd-reaction-he-expects-at-the-g1-special-in-san-francisco-on-axs-tv-next-month-other-highl\/\">RADICAN INTERVIEW with JUICE ROBINSON \u2013 talks future goals in wrestling, promos and selling, what kind of crowd reaction he expects at the G1 Special in San Francisco on AXS TV next month, other highlights from AXS TV press conference<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2269417729\"><div id=\"pwtor-3644955053\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Sami Zayn is going to be out of action the rest of the year at least due to rotator cuff injuries to both shoulders.
