Teddy Long Says Sami Zayn Is Going To Be The Next Big Superstar If WWE Pushes Him Right

WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long recently appeared on The Wrestling Time Machine to speak about a variety of topics such as returning to the WWE on the 30th Anniversary episode of Monday Night RAW.

Teddy Long said:

“It's always great to go back to the WWE, you know, that's my home. Okay, I'll put it like that. Just to be able to see some of the guys that I had the chance to work with and see they're still around. I had a chance to talk to Taker, seeing Triple H and all those guys. You know, a lot of it reminded me so much of the Attitude Era. A lot of segments that they did last night was kind of like the Attitude Era. So I mean, I really enjoyed myself. I sat down, me and Ron Simmons and JBL, and we watched all the matches, and we just had a great time man.”

Teddy Long also spoke about having a conversation with Sami Zayn about how he has what it takes to be the next big Superstar in the WWE if the company pushes him right.

Teddy Long said:

“I pulled Sami to the side last night and I told him. I said, 'brother, you got it. You got it.' I said, 'you got it.' I said "I ain't blowing smoke up your ass.' I said I don't do this. If I pull you off and tell you something, I'm telling you because I see it...I said, 'you're just real' and that makes it all the better when you're real and I told him those words last night. Sami Zayn is gonna be the next big Superstar if they push him right.”
