Sami Zayn has worked incredibly hard to become a part of The Bloodline stable. He was made a member of the faction by Reigns himself.
During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, The Honorary Uce talked about being a member of the decorated faction and what it means it him. He stated that the only person he thought he needed to convince was Paul Heyman because he is old school.
“I mean, if I’m being brutally honest here, maybe Heyman is the one I felt I had to convince because I think he’s old school. Roman’s his guy, and Brock was his guy, and he is very familiar with the top of the card. For him to be able to buy into me being a part of the act that’s at the top of the card, I don’t want him to be one of those guys that’s grabbing Roman and going like, ‘Look, you can’t work with him. He just did this stuff with [Johnny] Knoxville’, or whatever.” [H/T TJR Wrestling]
Zayn's short-lived run with The Bloodline ended tonight at the Royal Rumble event. It remains to be seen what's next for The Honorary Uce now that he's no longer a member of The Bloodline. One also wonders if Roman Reigns is done with Zayn or if more punishment is on the horizon.
