Sami Zayn: I Could Be Petty And Tell Every Single One Of Those People Who Turned Their Backs On Me To Kiss My Ass But I Won’t, Because I Am A Good Guy

Sami Zayn addresses people who never believed he’d become WWE Champion.

During the Night of Champions event, Sami Zayn dethroned Cody Rhodes to become the new WWE Champion. Zayn opened this week’s SmackDown and commented on his title victory.

During his promo, Zayn also addressed the fans who never thought he would capture a World Title in WWE.

“The overwhelming reaction, the love that I’ve gotten the last few days since winning this, it’s really touched me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I mean that, thank you. But the whole thing is really kind of funny, considering for the past six months, I’ve come out here, and I’ve been booed out of the building every single time. The people booing were the same people who three years ago were dying to see Sami Zayn as the WWE Champion. But then they decided, ‘Oh, this guy’s never gonna do it.’ They jumped off the bandwagon. They turned their backs on me. They wanted to boo me. But now I have this and I could be petty if I wanted to. I could be petty and tell every single one of those people who turned their backs on me to kiss my ass but I won’t. You wanna know why? Because I am a good guy.”
