Sami Zayn has called out WWE and Vince McMahon yet again for disrespecting him.
In a recent tweet, Zayn played out a plausible scenario between Vince McMahon and WWE, which resulted in them disrespecting him again.

The first one is Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns. Second shows Asuka vs. Sasha Banks. Finally, the third shows The New Day vs. The Street Profits.
This wouldn’t have been an issue if there were other individual matches left out. That’s not the case. The only two matches that haven’t been included are the Team SmackDown vs. Team Raw (men and women) and the match between Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley.

Since the match between Zayn and Lashley is a championship match, it should have been there.
This match is important since Lashley and Zayn are old rivals. Fans are looking forward to who wins the match and earns a point for their brand.
Additionally, whoever wins earns the right to brag about both titles.
Sami Zayn called out WWE on two previous occasions
Sami Zayn had called out WWE and Vince McMahon earlier after the WWE draft when he was not included in the SmackDown Advertisement.
He felt that excluding him, even though he is a champion, is nothing short of disrespect.
Almost everyone else was a part of the segment. This enraged Zayn, and he pointed out that disrespecting Zayn was WWE’s primary objective.
People think @WWE is this international media giant whose goal is to not only turn massive profits, but to bring joy to millions of fans worldwide. And while that is all true, it’s actually secondary to it’s main objective, which is to disrespect Sami Zayn every chance they get. https://t.co/ygYflj9LTu

Another time when Sami Zayn lashed out at WWE for their disrespect was when he was stripped of his title.
WWE stripped Zayn off his Inter-Continental Championship belt when he took a break from the ring owing to COVID-19.

I disagree with this decision and no matter what anyone says, I am still undefeated and therefore still the Intercontinental Champion. -SZ https://t.co/SUFsBFeRDB

However, this decision had a logical reasoning. WWE cannot have a title that is not being defended. The company needed to put the belt over someone else’s shoulders so that it can continue to be defended.

Unfortunately, Zayn felt differently, and he believed that WWE shouldn’t have done so.
Even though he returned to the ring and recaptured the title, it appears he hasn’t let go of that disrespect.
