Shane Helms has high praise for the honorary uce.
Throughout the duration of 2022, Sami Zayn has made memorable moment after memorable moment. Whether it's the highly praised WrestleMania 38 match against Johnny Knoxville or the current run that he is on with The Bloodline, fans are surely to remember Zayn's 2022 slate for years to come.
Zayn's work is even being praised by WWE personnel, as current WWE producer Shane Helms made a bold statement on the latest episode of WWE's After The Bell podcast, going as far as to call Zayn the top performer in the entire industry.
"Sami [Zayn] is right now, and I have no problem saying this, Sami is the top performer in this entire industry. That’s how good Sami is. It’s daunting sometimes, Sami has a reputation you know. He’ll drive you bananas, but the end result is always a home run or grand slam. [His WrestleMania match with Johnny Knoxville] was definitely a grand slam. He was the perfect guy for that. His personality and Johnny’s, they were so [compatible] to each other, using all the members of all the Jackass crew and all of the gadgets. It all came together like so crazy and just a lot of creativity from everybody involved. It was just a massive team effort."
Helms went on to reveal that it was his idea to involve a giant mouse trap in the duo's 'Anything Goes' match.
"The human mousetrap was actually my idea. Me and Knoxville were hanging out in Miami at a bar and I don’t know exactly what set it up but I was like ‘Yeah, we should just get a giant mouse trap and catch Sami with it.' We were looking at each other and he got on his phone right away and was like ‘I’m getting it done.'"
Recently, Kayla Braxton echoed the same message, saying that Zayn is the most entertaining character on a week to week basis. To learn more about Braxton's comments, click here.
