Having now departed the Bloodline, could Sami Zayn soon bring back his old Worlds Apart entrance them?

Speaking during an appearance on The Sick Podcast (via Fightful), Zayn noted how his classic theme may be brought back for his upcoming Elimination Chamber bout against Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. If that does indeed happen, though, Sami believes it would be more done as a one-off rather than a permanent arrangement, and he also believes that a new entrance theme might be on the table for him.

As the Great Liberator explained:

"I mean, if it were going to come back, I feel like that [Elimination Chamber] would be the time and place to do it. I've said this in other interviews, I feel like it would kind of be taking a step backward. I think maybe a new song is in the cards, but I feel like that song [Worlds Apart], even though people have a fondness for it, it seems, from a character's perspective it just feels like taking a step backward. At the same time, doing it for like a one-night thing in Montreal might be cool."

As alluded to there by Zayn, next Saturday's Elimination Chamber PLE emanates from the former El Generico's hometown of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. While Sami is already guaranteed a huge reaction in Montreal, that reaction would likely be even louder if the talent reverted to the beloved theme he used in NXT and during his initial time on the main roster.

Just as a friendly reminder of that ridiculously catchy, energetic little ditty, we'd done you the favour of dropping Worlds Apart below. Oh, and also a clip of the monstrous pop Sami Zayn received upon making his main roster debut back in 2015... at Montreal's Bell Center, which is the same venue as this coming Friday's episode of SmackDown and Saturday's Elimination Chamber.
