Sami Zayn is never one to use niceties in his sentences. The WWE Intercontinental Champion has always been free-flowing and although he is a bit annoying, he puts his words to money every time.

In a recent post on Twitter, ‘The Untouchable’ may have taken a shot at NBA legend Michael Jordan by calling him a “phony”.

While his attack has no background and story behind it, we are eager to know the follow-up. Despite being uncalled for, there needs to be context.

If Sami Zayn claims to be the “legit” Intercontinental Champion, then his claims are “fraudulent”. Although, he isn’t the only Superstar to take a shot at the NBA legend.

Last week, WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks also took a shot at Jordan by claiming that she is already better than him. This came after her victory against Bayley at Hell in a Cell.

Of course, the tweet could also be directed towards famous actor Michael B Jordan, who recently had his movie dates shifted from the 2021 calendar.

A third party could also be involved of whom we don’t know. For now, we can only wait to see what Sami Zayn meant by the tweet. As of now, it isn’t confirmed if the tweet is directed towards the Michael Jordan we know.

Sami Zayn will go head-to-head with Bobby Lashley at Survivor Series

The Intercontinental Champion will go head-to-head with United States Champion Bobby Lashley at Survivor Series. This match will not be an easy one for Zayn.

Bobby Lashley is a powerhouse in every sense of the word and beating him may be out of the hands of Zayn.

However, he has proved to be extremely cunning when it comes to situations like this. He managed to fend off AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy to retain his Intercontinental title twice which is quite commendable.
