WWE Superstar Sami Zayn Reflects on Recent Career Highlights and Survivor Series Match
In a recent interview, WWE Superstar Sami Zayn opened up about the ups and downs of his career and the recent success he has experienced alongside his friend and fellow wrestler, Kevin Owens. Zayn, who had previously been concerned about teaming up with Owens again due to their history of turning on each other, admitted that he was pleasantly surprised by their recent run as a tag team.
The duo's journey culminated in a victory over The Usos at WrestleMania 39, where they captured the undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships. Zayn admitted that he initially worried that teaming up with Owens again would diminish the character development he had undergone in recent years, but he soon realized that their partnership allowed them to showcase a different side of their characters.
However, their reign as champions was short-lived, as they were defeated by Finn Balor and Damian Priest at Payback. Shortly after, Owens was traded to SmackDown, leaving Zayn alone once again. Despite the disappointment of losing the titles, Zayn believes there were still plenty of opportunities to explore as a team.
Zayn expressed his satisfaction with the way WWE handled their breakup, as neither he nor Owens turned on each other, avoiding a typical feud between former partners. He believes that the separation will give their characters room to evolve individually and make their eventual reunion even more impactful.
Looking ahead, Zayn is excited about his upcoming match at Survivor Series, where he will team up with Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso to take on The Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre. Zayn sees this as an exciting time in WWE, with multiple performers vying for the top babyface spot, reminiscent of the Attitude Era.
Zayn believes that the audience's investment in the various storylines and characters has created a level of trust and fun, making them more receptive to all aspects of the show. He feels that this increased engagement has allowed him to deepen his bond with the WWE audience and feels more confident in his pursuit of a world championship.
While Zayn recognizes that becoming a world champion is now more attainable than ever before, he also acknowledges the pressure that comes with being so close to achieving that goal. For now, his focus is on the upcoming WarGames match at Survivor Series, which he describes as a unique and captivating match that is guaranteed to keep the audience invested.
Zayn also praised the members of The Judgment Day faction, including Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, and Rhea Ripley, for their growth as performers and the intriguing dynamic they bring to the WWE. He believes that their individual journeys and the chemistry they have developed as a group have been instrumental in their success.
As Zayn prepares for Survivor Series and continues to evolve his character, he remains grateful for the opportunities he has been given and the support he has received from the WWE Universe. He hopes to continue entertaining the fans and delivering memorable moments in the ring.
