WWE Reportedly Very Concerned About Sami Zayn Chants

Sami Zayn has been white hot over the last few months and he recently challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Elimination Chamber. Zayn failed to capture the championship, but it’s clear that a lot of fans are still behind him.

Cody Rhodes is currently set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania, and there seems to be some concern in regard to fans possibly turning on him. Dave Meltzer addressed Cody’s segment from Raw this week on Wrestling Observer Radio and he noted that WWE was very concerned about Sami Zayn chants possibly taking over the show.

“The stuff with Cody and Heyman – they (WWE) were very concerned about Sami chants, which is one of the reasons why they got Heyman out there in seconds.

“They did not want Cody in there by himself because they thought that – it didn’t happen – but they did everything in their power to make sure they kept that moving, they did not allow the audience a chance to start chanting or anything like that, it was just back-and-forth.

“It was designed to give the audience no chance to chant because of the feeling that if they did it would hurt Cody’s momentum. And perhaps it would, and then it could create that groundswell (for Zayn) which is exactly what they don’t want right now.”

It hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but it’s been rumored for months now that Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will be challenging The Usos for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 39. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
