Despite Not Having Many Major Accolades in WWE, Sami Zayn Points Out an Aspect Where He Scores Higher Than Several Hall of Famers and Multi-Time Champions

After putting on a phenomenal main event match on the first night of The Show of the Shows, Sami Zayn made a massive remark. The new holder of the Men’s Tag Team Championship titles, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens talked at length in the post-show press conference. The interviewers threw some questions at them. And to answer those wisely, Zayn made a remarkable comparison.  

There’s no denying the fact that along with the victors, their rivals, The Usos also gave it their all to put on a captivating match. Being a part of this main event, they carried on their family’s legacy. The match engrossed the audience from the start. It wasn’t just the match, but the emotionally rich storyline attached to it that engaged fans more. 

However, when Zayn was asked to reflect on this noteworthy storytelling, he used an example that ended with a comparison.

He said, “I do think it transcended the classical wrestling storyline. It’s a glimpse into, because of its effectiveness, it could be a glimpse of what storylines going forward, if not achieve, will at least aspire to, in my opinion.”

Following this, he mentioned the evolution of television shows from their golden age in the 2000s to the inclusion of HBO and other stuff like that. He specifically talked about the more complex and layered characters that have come into the world.

“To do this story, if I may be so bold to offer a comparison, it’s almost like the Sopranos. It is, to WWE, what the Sopranos was to television. If I may be so bold to make that comparison,” the Honorary Uce added.

The 38-year-old straight away labeled his storyline a revolutionary one while comparing it with one of the most influential television series of all time which has been credited for starting a second Golden Age of Television. However, while giving this answer, Sami Zayn also pointed out how no one else would fit this storyline other than those who were a part of it. 

The Honorary Uce taking pride in his storyline

The wrestler who takes a pride in his storyline with The Bloodline and with his lifelong friend Kevin Owens believes that he surpassed several Hall of Famers and multi-time champions in one aspect. Without any doubt, it’s his storyline, which he feels wouldn’t have been this engaging if any other individuals have worked on it. 

As per Zayn, it had to be The Usos and Roman Reigns portraying their legitimate lifelong relationship. And then it had to be The Prizefighter on the other side, with whom he shared a true 20-year-old friendship. Zayn feels it’s the bleeding of reality into the fictional story that turned into a masterpiece. And fans wouldn’t deny that as well.
