Last night was the biggest match in the WWE career of Sami Zayn. After 10 months of working alongside The Bloodline, Zayn would turn on Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble in favour of longtime friend Kevin Owens. In the process, he would get on the bad side of Reigns – who promised to destroy Zayn in front of his hometown. While Zayn had many close calls that almost ended with him being champion, Roman Reigns would continue his legendary run as champion – but Triple H still sees Zayn as a bigger star following this weekend.
Triple H Offers Major Praise To Sami Zayn
During the post show press conference, Triple H would have high praise for Sami Zayn – and knew he could blow the roof off the building at Elimination Chamber.
“For the average person or the average performer, if they were there the night before, they get a huge reaction, somewhere in my mind, I would expect, ‘tomorrow will be good, it might not quite be what it was tonight because they haven’t seen him for a long time. Tonight is the first night, tomorrow is the second time, and maybe a lot of the same people, maybe not. If it’s the same, it’ll be great, but if it’s slightly less, really good.’
For me, tonight, and last night, even just seeing the reaction that everything got, that Sami got, I had no doubt. I thought at SmackDown, ’as good as that was tonight, he is going to blow the roof off this place tomorrow and when they see Roman, those special chants that they’re doing are going to be deafening. It’s a feel. Pat Patterson, he used to always say, ‘it’s just a feel. This is what’s going to happen, and I know it, it’s a feel. I can’t tell you why, it’s just my gut. Go with your gut.’ It was a feel.
Last night, I watched Sami, I watched everything that happened, and I thought, ‘tomorrow is going to destroy this. It’s going to be at another level,’ and it was. It’s just a feel. I felt it, I knew what it was going to be tonight, and thankfully I was right. Sami blew the roof off this place, it was spectacular,”
