The story of sami zayn and The Bloodline was, without a doubt, one of the best orchestrated in recent times in WWE, thanks in large part to the Canadian’s chemistry with the rest of the faction members. A relationship that has continued to evolve over the months, with truly organic plot twists, engaging the audience even more.

However, every story has its end. And this one was no different. Zayn was punished for opposing Roman reigns. A moment that marked his consecration as baby faceand the start of his journey to redemption that would lead him to conquer the WWE Unified Couples Championships with his great friend Kevin Owens in the main event of WrestleMania 39 on Saturday.

However, there was a time when history could have lost one of its main claims. And it is that, during a recent appearance in after the bellSami confessed that it had crossed his mind to “jump ship” at one point. Below we leave you with their statements in this regard, transcription courtesy of Struggle:

“Yeah, there were, and I can’t name names (laughs),” Zayn replied when asked by Corey Graves if there were any people in WWE who doubted his inclusion in the storyline. “There were doubts as to whether this should be done. even at the beginning. In my case, let’s go back to the question about impatience. There was a point where I got really impatient with the plot and was about to jump ship. and I was like, ‘Okay, we have to start going in another direction if it’s not going where it needs to be’.

For me, it all hinged on Roman and I finally being together. and that twist was, “Roman likes this guy.” You hope he doesn’t love her, but he knows it and he loves her. It was really important. He had to accept me. Roman is directing the whole story, and it works great, even though he’s not there, but Since he is the main antagonist, his decision at the next story point will drive and propel the story in the direction it is taking. He must participate“.

Sami wrote his final chapter in this storyline at WWE Night of Champions, where Reigns was attacked by Jimmy Uso, revealing a rift within The Bloodline. The storyline continued on the final episode of Friday Night SmackDown, with Roman kicking Jimmy out of the faction while Solo Sikoa sided with the tribal leader. At this point, it looks like Jey Uso will be the next character to move.
