Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens went all in at Hell in a Cell. The long time rivals wanted to end the other, but as the Universe knows, there can only be one winner when the bell rings. At Hell in a Cell 2021, it was Sami Zayn. Following this, Kevin Owens took to social media to let his fans know he will take a break from the squared circle. He needs the break to heal himself, especially his physical pain. Now, Sami Zayn had a thing or two to say about Kevin Owens’ decision. While he doesn’t know if his marks the end of their feud, he wants Owens to understand that under all circumstances he should stay away from Zayn. “Now, he comes into that match with a little trouble breathing and this and that. Hey man, you’re a WWE Superstar. We battle through a lot of things. I’ve been battling through two shoulders that have not been a hundred percent in years. I have disks in my neck that have been damaged for 12 years. I punched him in the face, he punched me in the face and the better man came out on top and if he needs a break, that’s not my problem. Just stay the hell away from me.” Victory [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-sami-zayn-shocks-kevin-owens-at-wwe-hell-in-a-cell-with-a-helluva-victory/] [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/kevin-owens-vs-sami-zayn-e1624240822499.jpg] SAMI ZAYN KNEW KEVIN OWENS WAS IN PAIN PRIOR TO THEIR MATCH It won’t be fair to credit Zayn’s entire win to Owens’ pain. However, Zayn knew about Kevin Owens’ shoulder and he added to Kevin Owens’ misery at Hell in a Cell. “I can’t say with any certainty that it’s over. I can never say with any certainty that it’s over for good. At the very best, I can hope that [Kevin Owens] learnt his lesson. I know for a fact that his shoulder wasn’t doing too good in that match. I don’t know if you caught it. He was hurt, he was hurt bad and now he’s talking about needing rest and this and that. I’m hoping I sent my message loud and clear and that he’ll sit on the shelf for a little while and he’ll be out of my hair.” H/t Sportskeeda [https://www.sportskeeda.com/amp/wwe/news-wwe-star-kevin-owens-taking-break-wrestling?ref=wwepage] Until Kevin Owens returns from his hiatus, the WWE Universe will not know how the feud ends, or if Hell in a Cell was the end. What do you think will happen next? Let us know in the comments below.

<h2>History</h2>
<h3>Early Career and Promotions</h3>
Sami Zayn worked hard like any wrestler to get where he is today. He worked for several developmental promotions such as International Wrestling Syndicate, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Chikara, and ROH (Ring of Honour) before making it to NXT.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/112/814/El-Generico_crop_north.jpg?1358794735&amp;w=3072&amp;h=2048" alt="" width="1440" height="960" data-noaft="1" />

Many may not know it, but the ‘Battery Man’ wrestled for 13 years of his wrestling career wearing a mask; he called himself El Generico. However, when he joined NXT, he took off that mask.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Sami Zayn had a boatload of experience owing to his knowledge from the best of the promotions. While most wrestlers choose one, Zayn went through it all.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8f/c6/55/8fc655e016a5d762877e33499b2d6a12.jpg" alt="" width="4288" height="2848" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>WWE NXT</h3>
Coming into WWE’s developmental brand, Zayn already had 11 years of experience in him from his past wrestling endeavors. And his skill quickly placed him above the rest.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/63TiOlxIKjucAFGzrjh1t-n36es=/0x0:708x472/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49917993/NXT_REV_Photob_54-4035331215.0.0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1310" height="873" data-noaft="1" />

Zayn became so good that he even called himself ‘The Heart and Soul of NXT’ for a while. In his debut year, Sami Zayn worked the entire time towards the NXT Championship.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

From his first match in January 2013, he worked his way up to the title but was pushed down. He finally managed to clinch it in December that year with a victory over Neville.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/tribdem.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/4d/34d197e0-8737-11e4-b8d0-b363d40ac74f/5493a9060d278.image.jpg" alt="" width="1020" height="680" data-noaft="1" />

‘The Untouchable’ lost his title after 62 days following a disastrous defeat at the hands of Kevin Owens, who would go on to have a major role in Zayn’s career.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>WWE Main roster</h3>
Sami Zayn made it into the main roster and found himself among the biggest names in the business. He quickly got into a feud with an old rival, one that took the gold away from him.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2017/03/160_RAW_03272017jg_3850--bee872d0b5beacee1234fb8831d621f0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Sami spent the better half of the year in a storyline against Kevin Owens, who had already stirred the main roster after his arrival. Zayn also feuded with Braun Strowman, against whom he didn’t stand a chance.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Not long after winning the feud against Owens, the two teamed up to fight the authority that is Shane McMahon. Sami and Owens, gelling well due to their long real-life friendship, managed to work splendidly together.

(Photo by Lukas Schulze/Bongarts/Getty Images)[/caption]

It would take Sami Zayn a brand switch to SmackDown to be recognized as his own wrestler. Now, much more free and annoying, Zayn was a crowd-pleaser and was splendid in promos.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>Intercontinental Championship reigns</h3>
WWE decided to reward this energy by putting the WWE Intercontinental Championship on his shoulders. Unfortunately, this title would not stay with him for long.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/1589833/wwe-smackdown-sami-zayn-wins-intercontinental-championship.jpg?w=1600&amp;h=900&amp;l=50&amp;t=33&amp;q=88&amp;f=0b5b0a21121ff1802543255eae919b32" alt="" width="1600" height="900" data-noaft="1" />

Sami Zayn was stripped of his reign due to his inability to defend his title in the pandemic. It was a harsh end to his successful run, but the story was not over yet.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

‘The Untouchable’ made his much-awaited return in August 2020 to reclaim his gold. Zayn claimed that he never lost his title and challenged then Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy to a fight, with AJ Styles also joining in the action.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://dl.img-news.com/dl/img/s0/dl/i2/2020/10/wwe-smackdown-02102020-sami-zayn.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="540" data-noaft="1" />

Zayn won and proved his mettle, regaining the title. Nearly 3 months later, he lost the same title to Big E on the December 25 episode of SmackDown.

Sami Zayn is a rare wonder, and no one gets sick of his gimmick.

<span style="font-weight: 400">The reigning Intercontinental Champion gained a lot of mainstream media attention when he started a feud with Hollywood star, Johnny Knoxville.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">This Hollywood-WWE crossover gave the fans one of the best moments of this year so far. The two enemies wrested inside at this year’s men’s Royal Rumble where Knoxville got the better of Zayn and eliminated him from the Rumble.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, Sami then moved on to Knoxville to his old enemy, Shinsuke Nakamura. Not much time after his Royal Rumble bout, Zayn challenged Nakamura for his Intercontinental Championship on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Eventually, Zayn became a three-time Intercontinental Champion at the recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown.</span>
