The Bloodline's traitor could be the mystery assailant at WWE Survivor Series, says backstage expert

The identity of the individual dressed in all black remains a mystery following WWE Survivor Series: WarGames. Backstage expert Sam Roberts thinks Bloodline's biggest traitor could be behind the attack on CM Punk last night.

The Men's WarGames Match ended on a cliffhanger, with a masked man kicking The Best in the World in the face and stomping his head.

The distraction cost the babyface side the match, as Bron Breakker finished the job by snapping CM Punk in half with a devastating spear.

Rumor has it that Austin Theory was the one who helped The Vision in San Diego this past weekend.

Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts entertained the thought of Sami Zayn being the mystery assailant.

"Sami Zayn is a name that's been thrown around, and there are people going, 'I don't know about that Sami Zayn,' because, you know, I think people are waiting for a refresh on Sami Zayn. I think it's time for a refresh on Sami Zayn. But what if Sami Zayn wasn't so lovable? What if Sami Zayn wasn't so everyman? What if Sami Zayn wasn't that guy that just worked hard and, 'Gee golly, I'm gonna get it done?'"

Roberts wondered if the Canadian wrestler shaved his head and cut his beard short to undergo a character change, which is long overdue.

"What if Sami Zayn shaved his head? What if Sami Zayn shaved his head and cut his beard short? He can cut his beard all the way off, but cut his beard short and shaved his head. And he just became somebody that was actually using what he's got in the ring, using the tools that he's got, to be brutal. What if it was no more 'Mr Nice Guy' Sami Zayn? I think there's a version of this where Sami Zayn becomes very compelling, and I think that a refresh on Sami Zayn would be good for Sami Zayn."

Sami Zayn comments on missing out on WWE Survivor Series: WarGames this year

Sami Zayn was left out of the WWE Men's Survivor Series: WarGames match since he was engaged in a feud with The MFTs on WWE SmackDown.

Just moments before the show, the former OG Bloodline member said he felt "weird" not to be teaming with his Samoan brothers last night, but was rooting for them.

"Feels weird to not be in the cage for War Games this year but full support for my Samoan brothers."

Zayn may be on good terms with the Bloodline members now, but there was a time he turned his back on them.

Is the Honorary Uce in cahoots with Paul Heyman? Only time will tell.
