Sami Zayn received a boost in WWE when he engaged in a storyline with The Bloodline. His personality and morals were questioned, giving his character a much personal touch. The Canadian-born wrestler even ascended to ‘main eventing’ with the top cards of the promotion during PLEs. But now, things have taken a major turn for him. WWE BRINGS DOWN SAMI ZAYN’S CARD VALUE Recent updates are telling us that Crown Jewel will be longer than we expected. It turns out that WWE is still disclosing new cards for Crown Jewel ’23. Sami Zayn also appeared to be among them. But fans might object to the booking as the former Bloodline member has been brought down to the opening card of the upcoming PLE. Being a part of a PLE in itself is a great deal, but seeing Zayn descend from main eventing to a kickoff match might trigger some of his fans. If he loses his match against JD McDonagh in Saudi Arabia this weekend, that could cause even more discontent among the viewers. 

Despite main eventing in important PLEs before, WWE drags down Sami Zayn's card
while revealing his appearance in Crown Jewel '23.

<h2>Sami Zayn 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
WWE has gone for the maniacs before, but no one pulls it off quite like Sami Zayn. ?The Untouchable? has been a massive crowd attraction for WWE and is a key part of the main roster today.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/all/2019/04/Sami_Zayn-bio--c1418ad5ede8c73e8dc5df623780d5bd.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

His persona of an annoying yet capable star has really taken off with the crowd. Zayn pushes the limits of his character, which gets more and more cringe each day but does not fall over the edge.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

The in-your-face persona of Zayn has really made people enjoy his antics, and even though it doesn?t keep him in the serious part of things, he can not be taken lightly.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<h2>History</h2>
<h3>Early Career and Promotions</h3>
Sami Zayn worked hard like any wrestler to get where he is today. He worked for several developmental promotions such as International Wrestling Syndicate, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Chikara, and ROH (Ring of Honour) before making it to NXT.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/112/814/El-Generico_crop_north.jpg?1358794735&amp;w=3072&amp;h=2048" alt="" width="1440" height="960" data-noaft="1" />

Many may not know it, but the ?Battery Man? wrestled for 13 years of his wrestling career wearing a mask; he called himself El Generico. However, when he joined NXT, he took off that mask.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Sami Zayn had a boatload of experience owing to his knowledge from the best of the promotions. While most wrestlers choose one, Zayn went through it all.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8f/c6/55/8fc655e016a5d762877e33499b2d6a12.jpg" alt="" width="4288" height="2848" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>WWE NXT</h3>
Coming into WWE?s developmental brand, Zayn already had 11 years of experience in him from his past wrestling endeavors. And his skill quickly placed him above the rest.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/63TiOlxIKjucAFGzrjh1t-n36es=/0x0:708x472/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49917993/NXT_REV_Photob_54-4035331215.0.0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1310" height="873" data-noaft="1" />

Zayn became so good that he even called himself ?The Heart and Soul of NXT? for a while. In his debut year, Sami Zayn worked the entire time towards the NXT Championship.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

From his first match in January 2013, he worked his way up to the title but was pushed down. He finally managed to clinch it in December that year with a victory over Neville.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/tribdem.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/4d/34d197e0-8737-11e4-b8d0-b363d40ac74f/5493a9060d278.image.jpg" alt="" width="1020" height="680" data-noaft="1" />

?The Untouchable? lost his title after 62 days following a disastrous defeat at the hands of Kevin Owens, who would go on to have a major role in Zayn?s career.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>WWE Main roster</h3>
Sami Zayn made it into the main roster and found himself among the biggest names in the business. He quickly got into a feud with an old rival, one that took the gold away from him.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2017/03/160_RAW_03272017jg_3850--bee872d0b5beacee1234fb8831d621f0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Sami spent the better half of the year in a storyline against Kevin Owens, who had already stirred the main roster after his arrival. Zayn also feuded with Braun Strowman, against whom he didn?t stand a chance.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Not long after winning the feud against Owens, the two teamed up to fight the authority that is Shane McMahon. Sami and Owens, gelling well due to their long real-life friendship, managed to work splendidly together.

[caption id="attachment_420624" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-420624 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201023192550/GettyImages-643915252-1.jpg" alt="Sami Zayn" width="1920" height="1173" /> DUESSELDORF, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 22: Sami Zayn arrives during to the WWE Live Duesseldorf event at ISS Dome on February 22, 2017 in Duesseldorf, Germany. (Photo by Lukas Schulze/Bongarts/Getty Images)[/caption]

It would take Sami Zayn a brand switch to SmackDown to be recognized as his own wrestler. Now, much more free and annoying, Zayn was a crowd-pleaser and was splendid in promos.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>Intercontinental Championship reigns</h3>
WWE decided to reward this energy by putting the WWE Intercontinental Championship on his shoulders. Unfortunately, this title would not stay with him for long.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/1589833/wwe-smackdown-sami-zayn-wins-intercontinental-championship.jpg?w=1600&amp;h=900&amp;l=50&amp;t=33&amp;q=88&amp;f=0b5b0a21121ff1802543255eae919b32" alt="" width="1600" height="900" data-noaft="1" />

Sami Zayn was stripped of his reign due to his inability to defend his title in the pandemic. It was a harsh end to his successful run, but the story was not over yet.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

?The Untouchable? made his much-awaited return in August 2020 to reclaim his gold. Zayn claimed that he never lost his title and challenged then Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy to a fight, with AJ Styles also joining in the action.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://dl.img-news.com/dl/img/s0/dl/i2/2020/10/wwe-smackdown-02102020-sami-zayn.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="540" data-noaft="1" />

Zayn won and proved his mettle, regaining the title. Nearly 3 months later, he lost the same title to Big E on the December 25 episode of SmackDown.

Sami Zayn is a rare wonder, and no one gets sick of his gimmick.

<span style="font-weight: 400">The reigning Intercontinental Champion gained a lot of mainstream media attention when he started a feud with Hollywood star, Johnny Knoxville.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">This Hollywood-WWE crossover gave the fans one of the best moments of this year so far. The two enemies wrested inside at this year?s men?s Royal Rumble where Knoxville got the better of Zayn and eliminated him from the Rumble.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, Sami then moved on to Knoxville to his old enemy, Shinsuke Nakamura. Not much time after his Royal Rumble bout, Zayn challenged Nakamura for his Intercontinental Championship on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Eventually, Zayn became a three-time Intercontinental Champion at the recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown.</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://wrestlingtv.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/SAVE_20200911_154213-1170x658.jpg" alt="" width="1170" height="658" data-noaft="1" />
