After Working With Roman Reigns for a Year, Top Star Feels “Confident” in Delivering First-Ever Statement of “Driving Business”

Roman Reigns has completed over 1000 days as WWE’s Universal Champion in his current reign. While being a superstar, the wrestling promotion has booked Reigns for several main events. It’s a known fact among all WWE fans that wrestlers who compete with the era’s top stars have a significant chance of gaining popularity in a short time. Something of the same sort happened with Reigns’ current long-term rival.

The Bloodline, as a team, debuted on July 2021. Sami Zayn became a part of the faction almost a year later, but eventually, the story led to him feuding with The Tribal Chief. Although Zayn was an established wrestler, a storyline including Reigns propelled him to greater heights and made him feel confident about himself.

Roman Reigns’ stardom elevated his WWE rival

While the two are huge rivals in kayfabe, Zayn indirectly feels grateful to have feuded with Reigns. Despite facing defeat at the hands of The Tribal Chief at Elimination Chamber, Zayn feels confident in himself for being the kind of entity that attracts viewer attention. The tag team champion recently appeared on ‘WWE After the Bell’ and had some interesting things to talk about.

While talking to Corey Graves, Zayn humbly accepted that he never considers himself the ‘draw’ of a match. He further explained, “I think WWE is the draw, and then within the product, you have components that are going to really help the product, and I’ve always viewed myself as that.” However, now that things have turned around for him as a top star, he thought to himself, “This was the first time where I could look at something I was doing and I’d be like… this is driving business. This is drawing.”

Zayn had to do his share of hard work for WWE fans to love him. However, association with The Tribal Chief surely gave him a push in his quest to become people’s ‘hero’. But what exactly is the X factor that follows Sami Zayn at the moment during his feud with Reigns?

Reigns gets overlooked because of his opponent’s ‘hero’ persona

The Night of Champions was held in Saudi Arabia a few days back. There, Zayn and Kevin Owens faced Reigns and Solo Sikoa. The former were able to maintain their title as tag team champions by defeating The Tribal Chief and his cousin. After the event was over, Reigns and Sikoa were the first to attend the press conference. However, Zayn and Owens soon interrupted their moment and the public couldn’t stop cheering for them. The public treated the Syrian-descent wrestler as their ‘hero’.
