Sami Zayn Reveals When His Storyline With Bloodline Was Pitched

The Bloodline storyline has taken the WWE Universe by storm, and Sami Zayn has played a huge role in the group’s success over the last few months. Zayn has quickly become one of the most popular stars in all of WWE and it seems that fans can’t get enough of his interactions with The Bloodline.

Sami Zayn recently spoke to Peter Rosenberg about how the storyline came together while noting that originally he didn’t plan on become a full blown member of the group.

“I won’t pull the curtain back too much, but the idea was kicked around about a year ago, a good six months before the seeds were even planted on screen. The first time I think there was any interaction between myself and the Bloodline was just after WrestleMania. In actuality, the idea was first discussed going into Survivor Series of last year. I was doing this whole thing on SmackDown where I was the longest-tenured member as the locker room leader. I thought it’d be something interesting with the locker room leader and Head of the Table. The premise being, the Head of the Table isn’t in the locker room anymore. I wasn’t originally envisioning being a full member of the Bloodline or anything like that, just something to where Roman and I can occasionally get on screen together in a light-hearted way and I’m giving him these reports of what’s going on and what he needs to be careful for. Every once in a while, I get things kicked my way too. That was sort of the idea.”
