Wrestling fans have been awaiting Sami Zayn's return since the WWE Superstar took time off last June to address injuries to both of his shoulders.

It was later revealed that Zayn's condition was even worse than initially suspected and both shoulders required surgery that would sideline the WWE Superstar for nearly over nine months.

Finally, Zayn made his RAW return and was eager for a match. He called for an opponent and out came newly crowned Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor, who put his title on the line against Zayn.

Just as they had previously in NXT, the two delivered a stellar match even though Zayn did show some ring rust. In the end, Balor edged out Zayn, but the real beauty came after the bout's conclusion.

Zayn took to the microphone and in true heel fashion admitted to never missing wrestling or the fans. He was brutally honest in his assessment of the smart marks in attendance,

"Your lives seem so empty and so devoid of any meaning....you only get joy and satisfaction out of being critics."

The Canadian born Superstar continued,

"It's the only thing that gives you some sort of importance. You judge everything and everyone except yourselves because none of you have the balls to look inside yourselves because you know the ugliness and the cynicism that's inside you."

Zayn referred to wrestling fans as "evil overlords" and promised to hold them all accountable week after week. He then closed simply with, "See you in hell."
