Sami Zayn fails to pull off another miracle.
On the October 7 edition of WWE Raw, Gunther defended the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Sami Zayn in a singles bout.
In the closing stretch of the match, Gunther planted Zayn into the mat with the fourth powerbomb, but Zayn shockingly kicked out of the pin at one.

Gunther then proceeded to apply a sleeper hold to Zayn. Zayn attempted to fight out of it, but after a prolonged period of time, Zayn passed out in the hold, handing Gunther the victory.
