Was Sami Zayn's ALL ELITE WRESTLING Mention On RAW Scripted? Here's What We Know So Far

As we told you earlier today, Sami Zayn referenced All Elite Wrestling on last night's RAW and we now have some backstage news about whether that was scripted or just something he decided to come out with.

According to Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Sami Zayn's AEW mention on RAW was reportedly scripted. WWE has edited the line out of the video on their YouTube channel but it seems this is all part of their plan to get fans talking about the show's third hour.

He adds that the questions during the weird "Electric Chair" segment were indeed from real fans but screened beforehand. Meltzer also claims that a backstage source said the mention of the rival company "was so f***ing stupid" and while his co-host Bryan Alvarez said that another source told him that it wasn't scripted, the person the former spoke to was in a WWE meeting before the show.

Either way, it's easy to see where WWE was coming from here as they're desperate to increase ratings for the third hour of RAW and moments like this are bound to get fans talking. However, it also seems a little forced and it's odd shining the spotlight on a PPV considerably better than RAW!
