In a recent episode of “Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg” podcast, WWE superstar Sami Zayn had an extensive chat about various subjects, including his encounter with Roman Reigns at WWE’s 2023 Elimination Chamber event.
Reflecting on whether he felt that he should have emerged victorious in the match, Zayn expressed the difficulties of looking back and contemplating on such factors because a single decision can have significant ripple effects. He said, “One thing changes, all these things change.” Using Brock Lesnar ending The Undertaker’s winning streak as an example, Zayn concluded that such judgments require a long-term perspective.
Zayn also speculated about the impact had he been the winner of that critical encounter. He believes his victory would have produced a moment of deep resonance among fans and would remain etched in the annals of WWE history.
On another front, The Miz, in a conversation with Sports Illustrated, shared about his fan-favorite segment with iconic character Pee-Wee Herman on RAW’s episode aired on November 1, 2010. Regarded by his father as the favorite moment in his WWE career, The Miz recollected the time when Paul Reubens, the actor behind Pee-Wee, initially disagreed to perform in character but eventually changed his decision. The Miz claimed that incorporating Pee-Wee’s famous catchphrase and the secret word in the segment would work perfectly, and he was not wrong.
