Sami Zayn has been a staple in WWE for over a decade, consistently evolving and refining his character to create compelling storylines. His most recent stint with The Bloodline was a highlight of his career, but according to Zayn, not everyone was convinced of his involvement from the start. Speaking on the After The Bell podcast, Zayn revealed that there were doubts within WWE about his run with The Bloodline, although he declined to name the individuals who held these reservations.
Zayn’s journey with The Bloodline began after WrestleMania 38, where he suffered a loss to Johnny Knoxville. Seeking redemption, Zayn approached Roman Reigns and eventually earned the respect of the locker room, becoming an Honorary Uce and gaining the trust of The Bloodline. For a year, Zayn worked tirelessly to prove himself, experiencing both highs and lows as a part of the group. However, his storyline with The Bloodline ultimately came to an end with his betrayal of Roman Reigns and The Usos at WrestleMania 39.
