OK, we get it, Sami Zayn is a sniveling, cowardly, ineffective loser. Can we move on now?

With all the reports of locker room morale being at an all-time low, you can’t help but wonder if the treatment of talent like The Revival and Sami Zayn contributes to that. In NXT, Zayn was the lovable underdog who overcame the odds to reach the mountaintop. In WWE’s he’s become the obnoxious jerk who loses constantly.

And now, he’s become Braun Strowman’s personal punching bag, as Sami just flees from Braun and throws weak shots that do nothing to slow the big man down. Strowman demolished Zayn after a chase backstage, hopefully ending this stupid little “feud,” which did nothing for either man. It doesn’t help Braun if his opponent is literally never a threat.

So now Braun and focus on Bobby Lashley, and Zayn can focus on… God knows what. Maybe losing to Lars Sullivan for a month.
