Renowned WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently shared his perspective on Sami Zayn’s victory in a gauntlet match on RAW, securing him a shot at Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XL.
Despite some fans advocating for Chad Gable, Booker T praised Zayn’s win, believing it adds a compelling layer to the championship bout.
While acknowledging Gable’s potential, Booker T emphasized the significance of Zayn’s moment, noting the lingering anticipation surrounding his ascent.
He suggested that Zayn’s victory offers a more intriguing narrative for the WrestleMania clash, highlighting the unpredictability and drama it brings to the storyline.
Reflecting on the decision, Booker T remarked,
“I thought the right person won. A lot of people were pulling for Chad and I get it… But I think Sami Zayn’s moment has been lingering and lingering. We’ve been wondering what was gonna finally put him over that top. And I thought it was this match.”
He emphasized the depth of the story Zayn brings to the championship picture.
Booker T also underscored the value of Zayn’s past accomplishments, contrasting his championship pedigree with Gable’s pursuit.
While Gable seeks his first singles title, Zayn boasts a rich history, including multiple Intercontinental Championship reigns and a previous stint as NXT Champion.
Gunther, the current Intercontinental Champion, has held the title for over 640 days, defeating formidable opponents during his tenure.
As Zayn gears up to challenge Gunther’s dominance, speculation mounts over whether he could end the champion’s historic reign and secure his fourth Intercontinental Championship victory.
