As of this week, WWE is still moving ahead as if Sami Zayn will be challenging Kevin Owens for the NXT Championship at Takeover: Unstoppable on May 20th.
Since NXT is taped several weeks in advance, the shows that have been airing up until last night were taped prior to the shoulder injury Zayn suffered on RAW during his ring entrance for his match with John Cena. It’s interesting to note that they shot an interview for RAW Fallout that night where Zayn said he was injured about 30 seconds into the match, which obviously comes off better than blowing your shoulder out before even stepping into the ring.
Zayn tweeted the following on Wednesday night, one week before the match:
Owens vs. Zayn II. One week away. #NXTTakeOver
