Sami Zayn went through a huge change in character over the past year, as he went from babyface to a conniving heel. His current gimmick sees him as a conspiracy theorist who thinks WWE is out to get him at every opportunity. Zayn is also hell-bent on finishing up his documentary and show the world that he never lied in the first place.
Sami Zayn’s feud with the likes of Kevin Owens over the years has drawn a lot of praise from fans and pro wrestlers alike. Zayn continues to hone his craft and is a highlight of WWE television.
On this week’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, Sami Zayn pulled off an upset win as he defeated Rey Mysterio in order to qualify for the next round of the King of the Ring Tournament.
Rey Mysterio took to Twitter and stated that he felt sick to his stomach when Zayn won the match. Sami Zayn saw Mysterio’s tweet and decided to reply to it, hilariously trolling him in the process.
You’re the man, Rey! Don’t feel sick, great match & a great W for me. It is tragic when kids grow up, stop seeing their parents as superheroes and start to see them for what we all are: frail, flawed human beings. A heartbreaking cycle, but it’s silly to blame me for any of it.
Sami Zayn will now be squaring off against Finn Balor next week on Friday Night Smackdown. It remains to be seen whether he will win the match or not.
