"Not letting your heart turn black" - Sami Zayn sends a message after his intense exchange with Drew McIntyre on WWE RAW

Sami Zayn sent a message to Drew McIntyre after their intense exchange on this week's edition of Monday Night RAW. The two superstars have been feuding since The Scottish Warrior's return to television earlier this month.

McIntyre's first match after returning was against The Underdog From The Underground. He defeated the former WWE Intercontinental Champion at Saturday Night's Main Event before beating Zayn again in the main event of the latest edition of Monday Night RAW.

On X (fka Twitter), Zayn shared a clip of his promo from RAW. He believes the greatest struggle was not to let one's "heart turn black."

"To live is to struggle, and the greatest struggle of all is not letting your heart turn black." wrote Zayn.

Sami Zayn discussed the idea of bringing back the iconic white-strapped WWE IC title

Sami Zayn briefly spoke about the possibility of him bringing back the white-strapped WWE Intercontinental Championship belt.

Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, the 40-year-old superstar recalled WWE legends, including Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and Mr. Perfect holding the classic Intercontinental Championship belt.

“I know a lot of folks, I’m probably not unique in saying this, but a lot of folks have an affinity for that early 90s Intercontinental Championship, the classic one that you think of Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart and Mr Perfect. A lot of people have an affinity for that,” he said.

In 2024, Sami Zayn became a four-time Intercontinental Champion. He defeated Gunther at WrestleMania XL, ending The Ring General's historic reign of 666 days. He eventually dropped the title to the reigning champion, Bron Breakker.

Zayn then focused on The Bloodline storyline, reuniting with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso. The OG Bloodline and CM Punk then defeated Solo Sikoa's stable and Bronson Reed in the Men's WarGames Match at Survivor Series.
