Sami Zayn is undoubtedly one of the top WWE superstars right now. But this wasn’t the case a few years ago.

However, this would hardly be possible if the creative hadn’t decided to go with a unique plan and added Zayn to ‘The Bloodline’ storyline. Not only the fame, but Zayn’s collaboration with Roman Reigns and the ‘Bloodline’ also earned him a compliment that every WWE superstar dreams of.
