We reported earlier this week that WWE RAW Superstar Sami Zayn had been suffering from an undisclosed injury (which you can check out here) and was in Birmingham, Alabama to be evaluated, which was the reason for Bobby Lashley defeating him in dominating fashion at Money In The Bank on Sunday.

Today, WWE.com has revealed through an interview with ‘The Underdog from the Underground’ that Sami has undergone surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. Additionally, Zayn will be undergoing another surgery on his left shoulder very soon, putting him out of action for approximately 8 months:

“Well, right now I’m in Birmingham, Ala. I just underwent surgery for my right shoulder, a.k.a. my good shoulder. So, I’m out for a little while with that. I guess people don’t know about this injury; I’ve been working with it for some time. I don’t know exactly when I tore it. I think I tore it, or initially injured it, on a Montreal Live Event. Which is ironic because I injured my left shoulder — now somewhat famously — in Montreal in my [Raw] debut against John Cena. And at a Live Event this past August wrestling Jinder Mahal, I think I injured it then.

But then my left shoulder, a.k.a my bad shoulder, started to act up again as well. That shoulder hasn’t quite been the same since surgery anyway, so I had just kind of gotten used to the fact that that shoulder was the bad one. But it started to get progressively worse, so basically, long story short, it turns out I have two torn rotator cuffs. The left one and the right one are both torn. I just underwent surgery on the right one, and then in about six or seven weeks, I’ll be undergoing surgery on the left one, and hopefully I can come back healthy and happy.”
