10 Most ANNOYING Wrestlers Ever

10. ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ Sami Zayn

Sometimes, hammering home things that blatantly aren't true is enough to cause a stir and grab some attention. That's what Sami Zayn started to do in 2021: Zayn alleged there was a conspiracy from WWE wrestlers, management and fans to hold his career down. Despite being presented with clear evidence that this wasn't true, Sami kept harping on and on...and on and on and on.

He was so good at ignoring the truth when it didn't fit his skewed perspective that fans actually started to find Zayn's outlandish character endearing. Things threatened to go off the rails when Johnny Knoxville was brought in for a guest spot at the 2022 Royal Rumble, but then JK and Sami produced a remarkably entertaining comedy match at WrestleMania 38.

Suddenly, WWE realised just how adaptable and good Zayn was/is. They flirted with a one off segment between Sami and The Bloodline, then decided to keep things going after spotting the chemistry Zayn had with Roman Reigns and The Usos. That led to a brilliant portion of the man's career - he became an "Honorary Uce" and spun out of Bloodline biz to become a champion babyface worth getting behind.

What a rollercoaster for the ex-El Generico.

Sami was stupidly great at being annoying. He turned what could easily have been a shortlived (and boring) conspiracy theory gimmick into something that changed his WWE career forever. Who knew being such a backstage pest in promos and other vignettes would pay main event dividends like it did for Sami?!
