Paul Heyman: Sami Zayn Was Going To Get A Guest Spot And Was So Good He's A Full-Time Cast Member

Paul Heyman explains what Sami Zayn brings to the Bloodline.

Since being paired up with the Bloodline after WrestleMania and trying to earn back the respect of the locker room, Sami Zayn has brought a different dynamic to the group of Roman Reigns, The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso), Paul Heyman, and eventually Solo Sikoa.

Speaking at the WWE Survivor Series press conference, Heyman gave his thoughts on Sami's importance to the Bloodline.

"The dichotomy that he has with every member of the Bloodline. How many times have you seen the Bloodline, absolutely cannot contain a laugh in the ring when we're in front of a sold out arena with worldwide television cameras. Sami brings a dynamic that none of us were prepared for, and we're prepared for everything. What Sami also brings is a connection with the audience that none of us can have because we've been too busy being the top act in the entire industry for over two years. Sami, to me, from my perspective and the Tribal Chief's perspective, represents the member of the audience who gets his one chance to step in the ring and live out his dream, and does it so well, every week, that we say, 'Do you mind coming back next Friday? We'd love to have you as part of the act.' That's who Sami has become. He's a guy who was going to get a guest spot on a TV series and he ends up being part of the cast because he's just so damn passionate and so good at what he does," said Heyman.
