Raw will be without Sami Zayn for the foreseeable future ... as the wrestler revealed both his shoulders are busted and surgery is required before he can return.

Zayn told WWE.com he's got two torn rotator cuffs and underwent surgery to fix one of them today in Birmingham, Alabama. 

"I guess people don’t know about this injury; I’ve been working with it for some time," Sami explained. "I don’t know exactly when I tore it. I think I tore it, or initially injured it, on a Montreal Live Event. Which is ironic because I injured my left shoulder — now somewhat famously — in Montreal in my [Raw] debut against John Cena. And at a Live Event this past August wrestling Jinder Mahal, I think I injured it then."

He continued: "But then my left shoulder, a.k.a my bad shoulder, started to act up again as well. That shoulder hasn’t quite been the same since surgery anyway, so I had just kind of gotten used to the fact that that shoulder was the bad one. But it started to get progressively worse, so basically, long story short, it turns out I have two torn rotator cuffs. The left one and the right one are both torn. I just underwent surgery on the right one, and then in about six or seven weeks, I’ll be undergoing surgery on the left one, and hopefully I can come back healthy and happy."

As we previously reported, Sami traveled to Alabama to determine how serious his shoulder injuries were. Zayn says he learned surgery would be required after getting an MRI on "the bad shoulder."

No exact return estimate was given, but Sami says he'd like to be "in the mix" for WrestleMania.
