Obligatory fuck WWE for their Saudi deal, but Sami Zayn finally won the championship. Sami chasing the NXT belt is was got me into wrestling as an adult, so I’m super happy for the guy.

I swear I thought this was going to drag out until ArabiaMania next year and then he’d win on the biggest stage. Going into today I fully expected he would lose here for some bullshit reasoning and would finally snap and become Dark Sami.
As for Sami as Champion, I don’t necessarily like him for it, but it’s better than continuing the story with Cody, I’m so tired of Cody, same problem I had with him in AEW, dude just doesn’t change things up and it bores me.
I look forward to watching the clips on YouTube to see how this goes for Sami, there’s been a need for fresh cream at the top, and I hope it rises.
My guess is this sets up Kevin Owens to come back in some capacity at SummerSlam. Either helping Sami defend or even helping Cody win it back. I’m similarly tired of Cody with the belt but WWE seems to be very into it all the time.
I used to catch Sami’s big matches but I gave up on him ever becoming the champion so I didn’t bother this time lol. Hopefully he gets to hold it for awhile.
