Paul Heyman Breaks Character to Heap Praise on Sami Zayn as the “Most Endearing Character” WWE Has Presented in Decades

The Bloodline saga has to be the best thing to come out of WWE in years. ‘The Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns has been at the center of it all. And he has been rightly raking in the plaudits that have come his way. But it has been the massive impact of Sami Zayn on the storyline that has surprised many. He circumvented a journey from the fringes of the stable to the main attraction with effortless ease. And ‘The Wise Man’ Paul Heyman has heaped massive praise on Zayn for his immense contribution to the successful saga.

The veteran manager said, “It’s to his enormous credit Sami Zayn seized the moment. And you know, we’d give him crumbs of a segment and he would just turn it into a moment that he had to connect with the audience. With what I think has ended up becoming the most endearing character that we’ve presented in decades if not ever”.

Heyman has seen the notorious faction grow from such close proximity. Who better to describe Zayn’s monumental part in getting The Bloodline over than him? The former Intercontinental champion displayed a masterclass with his character work during this whole time.

Zayn has gone from a mid-carder to a main eventer

And the WWE has to be credited as well for finally realizing the potential of Zayn. He has been part of the main roster for far too long and engaged in the mid-card for the majority of his career.

‘El Generico’ failed to usurp Reigns at the Elimination Chamber PLE, prompting many to question WWE’s booking. But it was his propulsion to the main event scene that can be seen as a massive victory. Zayn has always been a top-notch athlete in the ring.

And as Heyman notes, he is a great talker. He finally got a platform to showcase his prowess in both fields. And Zayn was not letting go of this opportunity. The Bloodline storyline was a massive hit even before he came into the mix. However, Zayn’s inclusion in it provided an outside perspective to the fans. 

Paul Heyman is right in giving massive credit to Sami Zayn. Many watchers will agree that he has been the most endearing character in the WWE for years. The fans went on a rollercoaster ride along with Zayn. And judging by the humongous success, they definitely enjoyed the ride.
