Following his loss to Johnny Knoxville at WrestleMania 38, he participated in a story with The Bloodline. What was at first indicated to be brief filler comic relief while Roman Reigns was away due to his brand-new schedule, progressed into possibly among the very best stories ever informed in WWE history, and the gripping and extremely amusing Bloodline legend took a brand-new turn and reached brand-new heights, even as Roman Reigns ‘schedule was more part-time than ever. The day of reckoning lastly encountered us at the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view occasion when Sami Zayn switched on The Bloodline following Roman Reigns’ title defense versus Kevin Owens. Sami then challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Elimination Chamber in Montreal (his home town) simply a week back, coming agonizingly near dismissing The Tribal Chief.

It is now obvious that while WWE appears intent on blessing Cody Rhodes as the one that dismisses The Tribal Chief at WrestleMania 39, Zayn has more than showed himself to be a World Champion in the future, strongly sealing himself as a centerpiece skill in WWE. It is practically a certainty that he will be teaming with Kevin Owens to challenge and dismiss The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 39.

In spite of being a mid-card wrestler because his promo to the primary lineup in 2015, the previous NXT Champion’s speedy ascension to the centerpiece scene has actually raised eyebrows and been a reward to witness at the exact same time, drawing parallels to previous WCW World Heavyweight Champion Diamond Dallas Page.

In a current episode of Sportskeeda’s “WrestleBinge” podcast, Eric Bischoff, who played an important function in DDP’s increase, drew resemblances in between the 2 wrestlers’ journeys. He stated,

” There are some parallels there. [DDP] was sort of in the middle of the lineup, right, and he was respectable. As soon as [ DDP] made that shift, as soon as he rejected the nWo and began dealing with Randy Savage therefore lots of other leading names, he simply burnt out of the pack. He didn’t gradually grow his method to the top of the lineup; he simply blew the doors off.”

” Sami has actually been around a very long time, you understand, and he’s been really effective and he’s extremely skilled and he’s excellent.
