Sami Zayn on mentioning AEW live on WWE TV

Sami Zayn stunned the WWE Universe by mentioning AEW live on WWE TV back in May. It happened during Monday Night RAW right after the newly formed promotion's PPV on Sunday.

There was a lot of speculation if the promo was scripted or if he had cut an unscripted promo in the ring. Sami has now hinted that it was his own idea and not something that was approved backstage. He told Catch-Newz:

"No no. It really was not a big story besides what was on the internet. Basically, the goal of the segment was a small new segment that we were trying for people. An unscripted thing. I knew that if we say 'AEW' like that, people would talk about it.
"That's exactly what happened. As you see, nothing really happened after I said that. It was done once, and nothing happened...It was a small segment of a time, it was the goal, to have people talking about it," he said.

The mention of Tony Khan's promotion has not happened ever since on WWE TV.
