Zayn retweeted a tweet where XPac was seen wrestling a masked wrestler in front of a live audience. In the video, XPac takes a devastating blow from his opponent and slams down to the ring mat from the top rope.
Zayn said that he wanted to face X-Pac at the 2019 SummerSlam, but his dream match just never came to pass.
X-Pac’s Career
Trained under the wing of wrestlers like Eddie Sharkey and Joe Malenko, X-Pac worked his way up wrestling on independent circuits such as Pro Wrestling America and the Global Wrestling Federation.
X-Pac won the PWA Light Heavyweight title, Iron Horse TV Title and the GWF Light Heavyweight Championship. The TNA X Division Championship, the WCW Cruiserweight Championship and the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship are some of the titles the WWE Hall of Famer won during his time as a full-time pro wrestler.
Sami Zayn vs. X-Pac
Even though X-Pac is not the most decorated wrestler in history, he surely is one of the most memorable ones. He is the only wrestler in history to be a part of both nWo and D Generation-X.
On the contrary, Sami Zayn is one of the most entertaining wrestlers in the modern era.
