About Sami Zayn
A four-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, one-half of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions with Kevin Owens, and a two-time United States Champion, Zayn built his legacy on elite in-ring storytelling and crowd connection that few in WWE history can match. At WrestleMania 39 he closed the book on The Usos’ epic reign by capturing the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Title alongside Owens, then topped it at WrestleMania XL by ending Gunther’s 666-day Intercontinental Championship reign.
Zayn regained the United States Championship from Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown, and his character alignment has been shifting — Trick Williams proved he wasn’t a fluke, with Zayn losing his subsequent WrestleMania 42 rematch, leaving him without gold. Now on SmackDown, Zayn has inserted himself into the Cody Rhodes–Gunther situation, interrupting both men and arguing they’ve done him wrong, positioning himself as the next credible challenger to the Undisputed WWE Championship.
