WWE has portrayed Sami Zayn as a ‘heel’ but his recent campaign proves that Zayn is a real-life hero. Also, Rhea Ripley has shown her support for The Former NXT Champion’s campaign, which is quite out of her typical ‘Mami’ character.

On December 22, The Eradicator shared a tweet promoting Zayn’s noble campaign. She asked the fans to help out SamiForSyria cause by buying a T-shirt. The Red Brand superstar also tagged The Underdog from the Underground and called him a “top Uce”.

Given her current role-play character in WWE, fans did not expect this from her. But seeing the tweet, fans flooded Ripley’s comment box with positive feedback.

The Canadian-born professional wrestler retweeted The Former Raw Women’s Champion’s SamiForSyria post with an interesting comment. The Bloodline Member did not shy away from calling her “Mami”. Usually, her Judgment Day stablemate, Dominik Mysterio, regards her by that name.

In alliance with Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) Foundation, the Blue Brand superstar gives life-saving medical care to conflict-affected communities in northwest Syria, including thousands of people displaced by nearly 11 years of conflict.

In his response, Vince McMahon said, “Well, it’s because you haven’t turned heel yet”. The WWE superstar hadn’t “expected to hear” that. But after he turned into a heel, the Honorary Uce noticed the fact that this change really allowed him to spread his “wings as far a character and as far as promos.”

Zayn had a long career and wrestled for over a decade before becoming a WWE superstar. He has traveled through different countries like Mexico, Denmark, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Japan, where he stepped inside the ring.
