In a recent appearance on the “Gorilla Position” podcast, reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn discussed his wife, Khadijah Sebei’s involvement in onscreen storylines.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On previously shielding his wife for the business: “I’ve been extremely private my whole career and my whole life actually, but I shielded her specifically from it, because…a) she didn’t sign up for it and b) I just don’t think she’s built for criticism, the kind of criticism that these monsters online sometimes hurl at us, especially the women or whatever. And I just didn’t want to expose her to that. Somehow or another, she ended up kind of involved in the story when we did the match in Montreal…”
On adding dimension for his title match in Montreal: “She really did add a dimension to that, a whole other layer, because it was so legitimate. And you were in the building that night, the feelings in the building were very real. It was just unbelievable…So that kind of opened the floodgates. So now she’s been featured once or twice more. But I’m a little apprehensive always because people have been kind towards her. But I just don’t want people to not be kind towards her. Cause that would really hurt me, because I know it would really hurt her.”
