Have both Cody and Sami face Roman reigns on both WrestleMania nights. Code faces Roman for the WWE championship and Sami faces Roman for the universal championship. This would make everyone happy and prevent Cody from receiving negative fan backlash since Sami Zayn wasn't WWE original plan to face Roman. Cody can win the WWE championship for his late father while Sami could be the true to David to defeat Goliath.

Very true! And what's even better Jay is Sami Zayn wasn't even supposed to be in this position! Sami was just supposed to be a minor role player in the bloodline that would eventually get dispatched. Instead we the fans began enjoying the dynamic and we're hooked on it! And in the last 8 months we have gotten weeks of unpredictable storylines within the bloodline of Roman turning on Sami, Sami Zayn putting his body on the line to protect them, and loads of character development between everyone. Sami Zayn literally worked his way from the mid card to the damn top and is now in the running to possibly main event WrestleMania 🔥🔥🔥🔥

That interview flew by, wish it was a bit longer.

Semi says he's self-deprecating, which he is to an extent, but I think what I like the most about him is that he's self-aware, in a really healthy and decent way. He makes me root for him.

thanks Ariel, always bring the best out of everyone

Storyline-Sami misses a chance to take a shot at Owens. Bloodline takes out Sami (Jey with some trepidation) because Heyman convinces the Bloodline Sami almost cost Roman the championship. Sami enters Rumble late, getting destroyed by the bloodline when Owens comes out for the save at 30 and Sami ends up winning

sami is such a likable person. to be so open and honest about the job and himself is just awesome to see

I don’t hear a normal guy who’s just there to wrestle and leave no no I hear an intelligent man who has a mind for the business

Hands down the best interview

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant interview.

The humblest and most modest superstar I have ever come across.

What a great interview

So amazing how wrestlers just understand their audience. Imagine a movie where actors/actresses have to write for themselves and make it make sense. Obviously the wrestlers get help but the majority of it is based on their ideas and they know the reactions they will get so it’s interesting the way Sami talks about timing the specific story progressions depending on where the shows are and who’s over

Sami joining the Bloodline storyline was the best thing for him..definitely raised his profile

As a wrestler, performer, human being , sami zayn has opened my eyes and the eyes of so many fans, obviously we knew he was talented, that was apparent from nxt and his relationship with the late great el generico but his work in the past 9 months has been electric, sami is one of the most natural baby faces in wrestling which is surprising considering he’s a great heel also, i don’t mind who wins the royal rumble but to not have sami win at least a title or have his mania moment would be a crime, my favourite current wrestler hands down

Really good interview, I have to admit I have not been a Sami Zayn fan until recently and this interview is helping me learn more about him behind the scenes. 19 minutes in Sami said "he doesn't know" about the Rumble, he genuinely didn't know... I don't find that to be accurate the day before Rumble he didn't know he was going to hit Roman with the chair.
