Sami Zayn Comments On Response To WWE Title Win, Details Message From John Cena
Sami Zayn is overwhelmed by the support.
Following his shock WWE Championship win at Night Of Champions, Zayn has been showered in praise from all corners of the industry. In a new interview with ESPN New York, the ‘Last Real Good Guy’ opened up about the reception.
“To be honest, one of the things that has overwhelmed me the most about this is the outpouring of support and love. The words that came up the most were like overdue and deserved. Man, to get that from so many people that I respect and love, it’s really been touching and amazing to no end.”
Zayn went on to reveal that John Cena sent him a touching message after his title win.
“I guess one message that I got that I didn’t expect, it was extremely nice, it was from John Cena. He sent me a message and he just kind of reminded me of the difficulty of attaining this and that less than 1% of the people that aspire to do what we do ever gets to this point. That’s not lost on me, but to hear it coming from him, just saying congratulations. One of the things he said that also really touched me is like, this is a genuinely earned — I don’t want to throw out personal stuff that he said to me, but the thing that stuck to me is that he said you really did it your way. Man, I just thought that was so cool coming from him. He’s the man because he didn’t have to text me at all. It’s really one of the more touching texts that I got, to be honest with you. You know how he is, he’s a very thoughtful person and I think he was trying to remind me, in case I wasn’t already, to be very mindful of the unlikeliness and how difficult it is to reach the mountaintop. It was cool, it was a really cool message to get.”
