WWE star Sami Zayn is set to take on Cody Rhodes and Gunther in a triple threat match for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Night of Champions on Saturday. Since the calendar flipped to 2026, Zayn has elicited a different reaction from the crowd. The smattering of boos toward him that started the year have grown louder.
Character Development
Zayn’s complaints about not being respected enough or not getting the opportunities he believes he deserves have also reached a fever pitch. He told Fox News Digital in an interview that his character now is a ‘bit of a choose your own adventure.’ Zayn suggested he took some inspiration from how fans reacted to John Cena and Roman Reigns over the years.
Zayn had been one of the top babyfaces for a few years and his popularity sky-rocketed when he joined The Bloodline as the ‘Honorary Uce’ and later turned on Roman Reigns and Jey and Jimmy Uso. He still heard cheers in the years after the moment at Elimination Chamber 2023.
