Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Last week, fans saw Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins attack Roman Reigns and CM Punk. On this week's RAW, both megastars were notably absent. So, after what happened with Sami Zayn tonight, it seems clear that he could also be written off from television for the time being.

Nonetheless, it's important to note that the entire angle is purely a part of the storyline, as even if WWE announces an injury for Zayn, it will be kayfabe only. As of writing, there is no update concerning any real-life injury of the Honorary Uce.

When is Sami Zayn expected to make his WWE return?

Following this angle, it's probable that Sami Zayn will miss the upcoming premium live event, Backlash 2025. For those unaware, this year, Backlash is set to take place on May 10, 2025, at Enterprise Centre, St. Louis, MO.

Post Backlash, the next PLE of the company will be Money in the Bank 2025, and on the road to this show, Sami Zayn is anticipated to make his comeback. During his segment tonight with Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker, Sami expressed his determination to become a world champion in the sports entertainment juggernaut.

Due to this, it's conceivable that he may take part in this year's men's traditional ladder match and try to earn the Money in the Bank Briefcase. By cashing in the MITB, Zayn could do the unthinkable and emerge as World Heavyweight Champion in the future.

Though this timeline is only based on assumptions, but still raises possibilities of this happening following what happened on the red brand this week.
