10 Things You Didn't Know About Sami Zayn

1. He Got S­­occer Banned At NXT

We finish with another snippet from the Talk is Jericho podcast, after Sami Zayn revealed that his fun-loving on-screen persona permeates beyond the ring and into his backstage shenanigans. Zayn and Neville cite themselves and the trouble-makers responsible for getting soccer banned backstage at NXT, for what Neville refers to as €œhealth and safety€ reasons. Zayn remains just as coy about the subject, claiming that €œwe did no­thing wrong€ as such, but what they did do €œcould look bad€. Of course, as far as backstage pro wrestling shenanigans go, playing soccer is hardly the most controversial of pastimes. But it strikes me as a fitting anecdote that Zayn, given the character he portrays on screen, gets in trouble backstage simply for having too much fun. It€™s another piece of trivia that only further endears him to the WWE fans. And with Zayn as over as he currently is, surely it can€™t be long until we see this man moving onto bigger and better things?
