Sami Zayn possesses a rare talent for breathing life into any character or gimmick that he takes on. His successful reign as Intercontinental Champion is a testament to this fact, and he has rightfully earned his place among the elite talents on the WWE roster. In fact, many fans and fellow wrestlers alike believe that Zayn has what it takes to dethrone Roman Reigns and become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Ahead of his huge title match at Elimination Chamber, Zayn got a hero’s welcome at the Montreal Canadiens hockey game.
Sami Zayn’s story arc with “The Bloodline” has been unfolding for several months and has quickly become one of the most intricate and expertly crafted storylines in recent memory.
He is now feuding with Roman Reigns after betraying him at the WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. He will be challenging Roman Reigns for his titles at Elimination Chamber on February 18.
During Tuesday night’s hockey game between the Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks, Sami Zayn was given a hero’s welcome by his hometown fans.
