Sami Zayn On If He Got Backstage Heat For Mentioning AEW On WWE Raw

AEW has managed to get plenty of people talking ever since the company was first announced earlier this year, and Sami Zayn decided to use the buzz to his advantage a few months ago.

Sami tried out a new Electric Chair segment on Raw, and during the segment he told the fans that they could ask him about anything, “even AEW.”

The former NXT Champion recently spoke to Catch-Newz about the Electric Chair segment, and he said that he mentioned AEW because he know people would talk about it.

“No, no. It really was not a big story other than what was on the internet. At the end of the day, the segment was a small new segment that we were trying for people; an unscripted thing. I knew that if we say ‘AEW’ that was the way that people will talk about it. That’s exactly what happened. As you see, nothing really happened after I said that. It was done once, and nothing happened.”

“Much more controversy on the internet on the subject, but it’s important to have the people talking about it. It was a small segment for one time only, to have the people talking about it, that was the idea.”
