“The Best In-Ring Performer” – Sami Zayn Breaks Character To Praise A Former WWE Champion
Follow Us
WWE Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn, rarely breaks character. His “outspoken” and often considered loudmouth gimmick is both loved and hated by the WWE fans. However, he recently broke his character after WWE SmackDown.
In the Blue Brand, Zayn often feels ‘disrespected.’ Even before his match with Daniel Bryan on SmackDown, he felt that WWE was handing things out to Bryan.

The duo had a great match (which did not end as planned). After the match, Zayn took to Twitter and praised the “People’s Champion.” Not only did he call the match a “privilege,” but he also said, “He is, in my opinion, the best in-ring performer of our generation.”
As much as I run my mouth, it is always an absolute privilege to be able to get in the ring with Daniel Bryan. You never know if or when it might happen again. He is, in my opinion, the best in ring performer of our generation.
Still it should be noted, I won the match. https://t.co/A5WqHfy9lF

Sami Zayn ran backstage towards the end of the match and Bryan followed him. After a while, Zayn came back to the ring at the 9th count and won the match.
After the match, we saw Jey Uso attack Bryan backstage and kept him occupied. Zayn’s long-time friend, Kevin Owens, and some referees came and separated the two. Here are some highlights from Sami Zayn and Daniel Bryan’s match.

What could be next for Sami Zayn?
After a feud for the Intercontinental Championship with Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles, Sami Zayn is lingering around. His promos are really entertaining, but he is yet to find a solid opponent.
