WWE Superstar Sami Zayn has been on a roll lately, capturing the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XL and successfully defending his title against Chad Gable last month. However, in a recent interview with Gorilla Position, Zayn revealed that he was hesitant to have his wife appear on television, citing concerns over the harsh criticism that comes with being in the public eye.
Zayn’s wife was shown in the front row during his title defense against Gable, and again during his match against Gunther at WrestleMania. While her presence added an emotional touch to the matches, Zayn was initially unsure about having her appear on TV. He expressed concerns about exposing her to the harsh criticism that comes with being in the public eye, particularly on social media.
“I didn’t want to put her through that kind of scrutiny,” Zayn said. “You know, people can be very critical, and I just didn’t want to expose her to that.”
Meanwhile, wrestling veteran Vince Russo has been critical of the way Zayn’s recent match against Bronson Reed ended on Monday Night RAW. On the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW show, Russo slammed the match’s conclusion, saying that Chad Gable’s interference felt out of place.
Russo pointed out that Gable, who helped train Zayn ahead of WrestleMania, had no prior connection to Reed, making the interference feel forced.
While Russo’s criticism may sting, Zayn’s recent successes have undoubtedly cemented his status as a top WWE superstar.
As the months ahead unfold, it will be interesting to see if Gable can capitalize on his growing resentment towards Zayn and capture the Intercontinental Championship. One thing is certain: with Zayn’s star on the rise, WWE fans are in for a treat.
