Zayn has not appeared on WWE TV since night one of WrestleMania 36, which was taped a few nights before it aired. That show saw Zayn retain his title over Daniel Bryan. Zayn hasn’t appeared on SmackDown since the April 3 episode, which was the WrestleMania go-home show.
Earlier today, Zayn had tweeted out, “Hope everyone is doing okay.”
