Sami Zayn says the time for trash talk is over.
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther rejected Sami Zayn's challenge to a title match multiple times, but he finally accepted on the September 30th episode of WWE Raw. Gunther will defend the title against Zayn on the October 7th episode of WWE Raw. At WWE Bad Blood, Zayn attacked Gunther when he was distracted by Goldberg.
In a WWE Bad Blood Exclusive, Sami Zayn discussed his upcoming match against Gunther.
“Gunther, you and I have talked a lot of trash by now, right? But I want you to know, I really do admire you. I admire you in so many ways. Your self-belief, it’s crazy. It’s unmatched. I mean, tonight, Triple H walks out there, and he talks about how Crown Jewel will see the WWE Champion take on the World Heavyweight Champion, and you don’t even think twice? You just stroll out there, like it’s a foregone conclusion that this Monday, you’re gonna retain your championship, you’re gonna beat me, and you’re gonna go on and take that championship at Saudi Arabia. The self-belief, it’s incredible. The thing is, I kind of don’t know where it comes from. Because the last time, if I remember that you and I faced each other in the ring at WrestleMania, you were pretty sure of yourself that time, too. You were so sure that you flew your father halfway across the world to come see you win, but what happened? Change of plans, right? Yet you still have this self-belief. It’s amazing. But here’s the thing, the time for trash talk is over. We have the match. This Monday, it’s done. Sami Zayn versus Gunther part two happens again, this time for the World Heavyweight Championship. Gunther, I’m changing your plans again because I will become the World Heavyweight Champion," Zayn said.
