Sami Zayn has been in the professional wrestling business for a long time and he took his career to the next level at Night of Champions when he pinned Cody Rhodes to become the new Undisputed WWE Champion.
While talking about his journey to the title on Raw Recap, Sami Zayn recalled challenging Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble earlier this year, and he admitted that the moment shook his faith.
“I’ll be honest, I didn’t lose the faith. I certainly didn’t lose the faith after the match in Montreal. It was a heartbreaker, no doubt, okay. But I thought, ‘This is the closest I’ve come, so I’ll just get closer and closer until I get there.’”
“The one that really did my head in a little bit was coming up short against Drew this past January at the Royal Rumble because after that one, that’s when I was already starting to feel like maybe I had missed my window. And I couldn’t give up faith, but it was the first time my faith was shook, if I’m being totally honest.”
While Sami has only been champion for a few days the first challenger for his title has already been decided, and you can get more details on that here.
