10 Things You Didn't Know About Sami Zayn

Time to test your knowledge of Sami Zayn trivia!

Just over a month ago, Sami Zayn€™s Road to Redemption came to its epic culmination. After a fantastic battle with Adrian Neville at NXT Takeover: R Evolution, everyone€™s favourite flat-cap-clad superstar finally won the €œbig one€ and was crowned NXT Champion. But despite this, Zayn isn€™t yet the household name that he realistically deserves to be. As such, there€™s still a fair bit that we don€™t know about him. Herein lies the problem with NXT. Of course, I€™m being exceptionally picky here€”we all know that there€™s nothing inherently wrong with NXT per se. In fact it€™s pretty close to perfect (never change, ­­­NXT, never change). But the fact remains that without a spot on network television, the Floridian developmental territory simply doesn€™t get the same kind of publicity as the Raws and SmackDowns of this world. Consequently, guys like Sami Zayn remain relative unknowns to the more causal audience. This article looks to change that, by thrusting Zayn onto center stage and counting down ten things you may not have known about the current NXT Champion.
