If there is one storyline that has popped off in the Triple H era, it is the one involving The Bloodline. Not only did this storyline hit the mainstream and made Roman Reigns the top star, but it finally granted the main card spot to Sami Zayn.

Through the past year, we have seen Zayn featured in many opening and closing segments of Raw and SmackDown. Also, aligning with the Bloodline, Zayn has been winning many matches, making up for his previous losses. Even his conspiracist and comic relief gimmick seem to be a thing of the past. The Canadian underdog who WWE overlooked for years, ever since his NXT banging debut.

In a recent interview, Ariel Helwani asked Zayn if anyone was against his decision to join The Bloodline. Zayn said,If I’m being brutally honest, maybe [Paul] Heyman is the one I felt I had to convince. He’s old-school and Roman’s his guy and Brock was his guy. He is very familiar with the top of the card. For him to be able to buy into me being part of the act that’s on the top.

I didn’t want him to be one of those guys that’s like grabs Roman and says, ‘He just did this thing with Knoxville.’ With Heyman, he’s more strategic about things. He thinks about things that I wouldn’t think of. Or he looks at the business in different ways that I wouldn’t look at.

Further in the interview, Zayn revealed that impressing the fans is all that Heyman cares about at the end of the day. Talking about impressing the fans, Zayn has been a major factor in The Bloodline’s success. All because of the unlimited charisma that Zayn boasts, coupled with his wrestling skills.
