Last night at Elimination Chamber, the main event of the show saw hometown hero Sami Zayn backed by the entire city of Montreal as he looked to end the 902 day reign of Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. It was an emotional night for many, especially Sami Zayn – who had Reigns beat at many points. But in the end was unable to walk away with anything but a strange feeling.
Sami Zayn Talks Immediately Following Clash With Roman Reigns
Following his crushing loss to Roman Reigns in the main event, Sami Zayn was part of the post show press conference – and had the following to say about how he was feeling.
So close, but no cigar. So maybe that’s a small part of this strange feeling I get back to. You know, looking out into the crowd after the three counts, looking at their faces, it’s like ‘Oh, this is not fun.” They’re hurt. They were so deflated, but not in an ”Ahhh storyline” sort of deflated, it was like ”Aw, man.” The vibe going into this week, it had this legit big fight, big city, big fight’s in town, our guy is here and they’re chanting Sami and Ole and ‘Fu Roman’ and the concourses before the show starts, there was just a buzz. So it’s almost like if GSP comes back to Montreal, he loses. It was a bit of a downer. Even if the fight was great, that’s what it was, it was a great time.
On a cognitive level, I’m aware that it was awesome. But, I might feel very different if you ask me the same question tomorrow, once I’ve watched it play it. I’d be like ”What was wrong with me? They’re on their feet, we didn’t even touch for five minutes and they were losing it.” Yeah of course it was magic, but at this exact moment, you caught me at a strange time, because I feel strange.
Right now, WWE still has time to potentially add Sami Zayn to the main event of WrestleMania 39, placing him against Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns.
