Top WWE Superstar Sami Zayn recently had a conversation with Fightful.com on a variety of topics such as how the magnitude of his match against Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber is going to be huge and infectious, especially with the match taking place in his hometown of Montreal.
Sami Zayn said:
“It would be very hard to walk out of this match a loser, no matter what the result of the match is. If I win, forget about it. That place goes crazy and I’m launched into the next stratosphere. You’re beating ‘the guy.’ Even if that’s not the outcome, if it’s some sort of draw, God knows what happens, even if I lose, whatever it is, I think the magnitude of the moment is going to be so huge and it’s infectious. Anytime I’ve done anything in Montreal, the love that I’ve gotten in Montreal, it’s contagious. When fans at home see that kind of response, it triggers something in them too. The fact that this is in Montreal, ignoring the obvious history of me coming up here and not just being a guy from Montreal, but being a product of this town, growing up in this town, doing the small tiny shows in this town that got me to the next step. Each step of the way, the fact is, this town made me. I’m just from here. This town made me. The fact that we find ourselves in this position, it’s an easy story to tell. Beyond all that, whatever comes of this match is going to be huge for me one way or another.”
Sami Zayn also talked about how Cody Rhodes told him at the Royal Rumble that this is an awkward time they find themselves in because they are both over with the fans in a huge way and they can both find themselves in the main event of WrestleMania 39 with Roman Reigns.
Sami Zayn said:
“It’s an interesting time we find ourselves in. When I saw him [Cody] at the Royal Rumble, the first thing he said to me was, ‘this is awkward, huh?’ It’s a strange time. There are two guys that easily could have gone either way as far as WrestleMania, Roman Reigns, all signs are pointing here…then again, this guy’s story is also pointing there. He’s already punched his ticket to WrestleMania. It’s either me and him, which I think is getting fans excited, or [Elimination Chamber] is my WrestleMania. The amazing thing is, WrestleMania is also my WrestleMania because of the position I find myself in. If I could rewrite the whole thing, I don’t know if I would change anything. The fact that I’m having this match in Montreal, in a weird way, that’s almost bigger than if I would have had this match with Roman at WrestleMania. I don’t know if it gets bigger than this.”
