5 Superstars who lost their title in WWE due to unusual reasons 

#4 Sami Zayn was stripped of the Intercontinental title by WWE

Sami Zayn faced Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 36

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected WWE, much like every other entertainment or sports event. WWE have had to move shows to a smaller venue, have fewer members involved, and perform in front of no fans.

WWE have also taken precautions to ensure that the spread of the virus is contained, taking safety measures at the Performance Center, while also offering Superstars the opportunity to stay at home.

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

One Superstar who has stayed at home for the majority of the pandemic era is Sami Zayn. Zayn's last match in WWE was at WrestleMania 36, and since then he has stayed at home.

I am the Intercontinental Champion.Period.With the exception of Shinsuke, these men have no self-respect, and it says a lot about them that they were willing to participate in this tournament to begin with.Disappointed in all of them. https://t.co/PoLDrCINHe

Zayn had defeated Daniel Bryan at The Show of Shows to retain his title, but he was stripped of the title by WWE in May after not showing up on SmackDown.

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter recently said that WWE will most likely add days to Zayn's contract for the time he has spent on the sidelines.
