Former WWE Superstar about his first meeting with Sami

Recently, Dax Harwood, formerly known as Scott Dawson in WWE, talked about Sami Zayn on his FTR podcast. During the podcast, he recalled his first meeting with Sami. And, shared an incident that involved cops saying that he didn’t like the former ‘Honorary Uce’ initially. 

While talking about Sami, Dax Harwood said, “Sami and I, we were really good friends and he traveled with us a few times, one of my favorite traveling partners, too. I knew the drive and determination he had from the beginning…..I mean, I did not like him when I first met him. We had our tryout together in June of 2012 and I told him this story. But some issues happened and we were all in a hotel together and cops came and started knocking on all of our doors, and he and I almost saw me simultaneously opened the door at the same time. And he said, do you know where this guy is? And I said, no, I don’t know where this guy is. He said, well, you need to find out where he is and he slammed the door.”
