Update on Sami Zayn’s Hectic Travel Schedule

As noted, Sami Zayn is currently in Abu Dhabi doing promotional work for WWE’s upcoming Abu Dhabi tour, which kicks off on Thursday. Zayn will be flying back to the U.S. on Wednesday so he can defend his NXT Title against Kevin Owens at Takeover: Rival, then he is expected to fly right back to Abu Dhabi for the tour.

This means unless Zayn misses the first part of the Abu Dhabi tour, he will not be available for the post-Takeover NXT TV tapings taking place this Thursday night. As of now, Zayn is still being advertised for the NXT live event in Florida on Friday, so it remains to be seen how much of the overseas tour he works.
