A WWE star has told fans to be patient following Sami Zayn’s 9 day WWE Championship loss, as a long-term storyline is planned.
At WWE Night of Champions, Sami Zayn finally captured the Undisputed WWE Championship for the first time in his career, defeating Cody Rhodes and Gunther in the triple threat main event.
Sami’s reign would only last 9 days, with him dropping the title to CM Punk on last week’s WWE Raw show in Chicago upon Punk’s return to WWE television.
Fans have been critical of the decision to end Sami’s reign so soon, but a WWE name has said that there is a long-term story at play with the loss.
Speaking on the Sal Licata Show, Michael Cole spoke about Sami’s defeat, noting that there is a long-term plan following the loss that he believes people will enjoy.
He said:
“I always ask our viewers to have patience, because there’s a long-term story arc with Sami that’s going to be playing out now over the fact he lost his championship.
“We always ask our viewers to be patient, because we are going to get there. We do 52 weeks of television for Raw and SmackDown every single year, so sometimes storylines might not progress as fast as the audience wants them to.
“Listen, audiences can have all the views they want, we can’t do this without them. Be critical about it, voice your opinions about it, but I really think people are going to enjoy where this Sami Zayn story’s gonna go over the next couple of months.”
