Paul Heyman Reveals Racial Overtones He Wanted to Use In Sami Zayn Segment

Paul Heyman has been one of the most well-known and established names in the pro wrestling world for decades. His mind for the industry is genuinely genius, as Heyman truly understands the business. He has worked with many top WWE Superstars and that includes Sami Zayn. Now it appears Heyman revealed what he always wanted to tell Zayn on WWE television.

On the other hand, Sami Zayn established himself as one of the most beloved Superstars in WWE right now thanks to his willingness to work with anything the company has given him.

Sami Zayn and Paul Heyman worked extensively as part of The Bloodline over the past year. After Zayn cut ties from The Bloodline during the Royal Rumble this year, he has made it his mission to destroy his former faction.

While speaking on the Tetragrammaton podcast, Paul Heyman talked about working with Sami Zayn and gave Zayn props for his work. Heyman then revealed what he always wanted to tell Zayn on WWE television.

We’re having a free-form creative expression here, so I will tell you something that I always wanted to say to Sami on television. I will never be able to say it on television because it’s so inappropriate. I’m a big fan of the scenes in the movie True Romance. Like a lot of people, can’t stand the entire movie. Just too long. But boy, you break it down scene by scene, and it’s of the greatest movies ever made. Love Gary Oldman as Drexl in the movie. Christian Slater comes into Drexl’s club and catches a beating from Drexl, and Drexl turns to his bodyguard, Marty, and he goes, ‘He must of thought it was white boy day. It ain’t white boy day, is it? Marty goes, ‘No, man, it ain’t white boy day.’

I always wanted to do this thing with Sami [where I say], ‘You know what your problem is Sami? You thought it was white boy day. Take it from the one white boy on the Island of Relevancy, on the Island of Relevancy, it ain’t ever white boy day. Of course, there’s no way that let me say that on television. It’s not about the racial overtones to it, or the skin color of a Polynesian against the pale white Sami from Montreal, Quebec. It’s about a mentality. Because Sami is as caucasian as a caucasian can be. He does not fit in on the on the Island of Relevancy. He just doesn’t. I do because I’m the Wise Man. I’m the exception. I’m Tom Hagen. I’m the non Corleone in the Corleone family. I’m the adopted one.”

Sami Zayn is certainly enjoying the destruction of The Bloodline that is taking place every week, as Jimmy Uso already betrayed Roman Reigns and Jey Uso might follow suit very soon. We’ll have to see how WWE will continue the storyline in the coming weeks.
