Wrestling Observer Radio<\/em><\/a>, Dave Meltzer noted why Sami Zayn lost his world championship this soon. He said,<\/p>\n\u201cSami Zayn was never going to be the champion that the individuals who were really comfortable he won wanted him to be. It was never going to occur. The large query was, was it going to be nine days, three weeks, or a month? You recognize what I mean? And it was nine days.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cI saw numerous people upset about it. Nevertheless it was like, look, that is what it was going to be. You knew that moving into. At this cut-off date, they do that for the undercard titles. They really don\u2019t do it for the 2 major men\u2019s titles.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cUp to now, absolutely, there have been times when the belts were passed around. I\u2019ve told the stories. We\u2019ve all told the stories. They really aren\u2019t pass-around belts now. They are surely within the hands of the people who find themselves perceived as the cash players.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAnd Sami isn’t, of their minds, one among those people. He might have been. There was a time when he was, but even then, of their minds, he still wasn\u2019t. It\u2019s one among those things where they\u2019re still brainwashed by the cosmetics in numerous ways, and that certain persons are good hands, but they’ll\u2019t be the guy. And Sami is one among those guys who, of their minds, can\u2019t be the guy.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\nWWE Legend Congratulated Zayn On His Title Win<\/h3>\n In a recent episode of his \u201cKliq This\u201d podcast, Kevin Nash shared his thoughts on Zayn\u2019s Undisputed WWE Title on the PLE in Saudi Arabia. The Hall of Famer said,<\/p>\n
\u201cI just desired to personally say congratulations to Sami Zayn on becoming the World Champion. You busted your a**, you\u2019ve endured numerous things, you\u2019ve been told to observe your political stance. You\u2019ve jumped through some hoops, and I\u2019m glad that you just\u2019ve stayed in there, persevered. And I\u2019m comfortable to see you get that. There\u2019s numerous people and numerous the boys which can be comfortable that you just\u2019ve been rewarded.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cUntil you grow to be World Champion, you don\u2019t know what it\u2019s prefer to be a World Champion. And after they hand you that belt for the primary time, it\u2019s as real as our sports entertainment will get. So I do know that you just had that feeling because I got it in Madison Square Garden. And it\u2019s special because all of us, in some form or fashion, watched this business as kids.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAnd although it\u2019s a piece and it\u2019s this and it\u2019s that, it\u2019s still the top. With that strap, belt, championship, regardless of the f*** they wish to call it, it signifies, if nothing else, anyone that they trust in and put able to \u2014 whether or not it’s a month, every week, 10 years \u2014 to be the face of the corporate. So congratulations, Sami. It just tells me volumes about Cody. You recognize, Cody has no problem putting anybody over.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
