Zayn defeated Cody Rhodes and Gunther to win his first world title in WWE, the Undisputed WWE Championship, and was interviewed by Byron Saxton after the match. The brand new champion was elated to win the title in Saudi Arabia and proudly declared that he had earned the championship.<\/p>\n

“Lots of folks said, I might never win the WWE Championship. But I stand here tonight, in front of my people [as] the WWE Champion,” said Zayn. “It is difficult to imagine, oh my god. Byron, , I’m not often confused, but I [crowd chants ‘You deserve it.’] You understand what, you are rattling right, I deserve it. 20 plus years in the sport, at the best level, never got the popularity. 10 plus years chasing this championship, never got the popularity. I do not care what happens to me, tomorrow, next week, next month, next yr. Without end, I can be Sami Zayn, WWE Champion.”<\/p>\n

Prior to this weekend’s title match, Zayn had several opportunities to win his first world championship but got here up short against the likes of Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, and Kofi Kingston, to call a number of. His match against McIntyre got here at this yr’s Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, where he fell short. Nevertheless, his fortunes modified on his most up-to-date visit to the Middle Eastern nation, as he defeated Rhodes with a roll-up to capture the title.<\/p>\n
